Poems by David Ignatow
For My Daughter
... after me so that I may shine ...
The Bagel
... head over heels, one complete somersault ...
I Close My Eyes
... I do all things required of me to make me a citizen of sterling worth ...

... Tired of the day and with night coming on ...
The Journey
... s regularity in coming home from work ...

... Reading, I never know where theirs leave off ...
Self-Employed: For Harvey Shapiro
... But then I watch myself standing at the exit, ...
