STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 3. WASHINGTON, D.C., by CLARENCE MAJOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Don't lose any important papers Subject(s): Tokyo; Washington, D.c. | |||
Don't lose any important papers. If they can't trace you to paper you're lost. When I traveled alone in foreign countries the officials discovered -- before I did -- that I did not have arms. In Tokyo soldiers laughed at the holes in my head. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
