I learned years after it happened br This this distant name had killed himself. br It was Ken who told me br What had happened, br Robert Leslie taught br It takes so much desperation br For this event. br The words of Jesus came: br "Forgive them they know not br What they do." br I was Y he was M or N br We knew each other br But we didn't know. br In a roadside break down situation br If there had been recognition br We would have stopped to help. br It makes me sad to think br With well less than one hundred br We didn't know a thing about each other, br Only a name. br There was so much busyness br So many other trajectories br Even in rural upstate new york br Not too far from Cornell's libraries br Where I did almost all my papers.
