the clue in the crossword puzzle is
"Giving to a younger generation"
in eight empty, white squares
I write "pass down"
pause as the pencil turns lead-heavy
from graphite lightness
I don't know if it's the word "generation"
"pass down" or maybe "younger"
looking back now takes more time
than looking forward
the pigeons dawdling by small puddles
always seem the same.
