Analysis of Basket of Opportunities
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
Covered basket on the porch.
Sheltered from the drizzle.
Whose porch?
Alice F. the jam jars lady
At local Farmers’ Market.
Twice weekly.
Very obliging. Lots of energy and smiles.
A Baby in the Basket.
You guessed it.
What comes next?
Warm taking in, and establishing?
Quick call to Children’s Aid?
Stiff faced 911?
College graduation for a beautiful
Smiling new Nurse. Raven haired.
Boyfriend winking
From the audience, beside Alice?
I know my choice.
