DescriptionLetterpress printed poem by Jerome Rothenberg, titled "A Prophecy-Maybe a Dream-for Travelers"A Prophecy-
Maybe a Dream-
for Travelers
pale eyes the tree
is friendly
even a little slow
friend Jerome he says
my watch says
3:15
I walk to the old corner of Main Street
past the Seneca
Theater & cross
the bride hello
you citizens
of Salamanca
hello the dog says
he is the tree's friend
& mine
he is a silly yellow
color eyes are shining
lightly into eyes
in Yucatan the skies are never
empty & the trees
of Yucatan talk Mayan
someone tells us:
you are going on a trip
