The poem on page 1  DRAFT! work the second stanza !!
In 1917, an early year,
William Carlos Williams
Wrote "January Morning."
He died in Rutherford, New Jersey
In 1963, the year I entered Art School
In New Bedford, Massachusetts.
At the opening Suite of "January Morning, 
The image of himself is introduced
And runs in American plainsong
through Weehawken.

So through the portal of "January Morning,"
I’m reminded of procedures in defining
Whatever this place is;
Whatever it proposes to be;
Of whenever I come to walk through it,
Glancing its temperament,— or populate it
Attempting to articulate its proportions
Gathering the elements of its complexities
With myself involved in them,
To remain within reach;— one’s own reach
Readied for the Suite.
