Gratefulness
The glory of the sensual world may be expanding according to a crusty New England poet who astonished the literary world today with a press-conference revelation of his researches. “Everything’s lusher,” mused the poet, speaking before an audience of some 50-odd reporters and photographers assembled in his garret. He cited several beautiful flowers and an extraordinary cloud that passed over Western Massachusetts, he says, sometime last week. “Even the traffic lights,” mused the poet, “even the lives of critics.” His comments have already called forth a universal cavalcade of assent from commentators including a posthumous encomium from Walt Whitman. “Damn straight it’s lusher,” Whitman opines in part, “Fact is, it always was.”
