IMPROVISATION#292
IN A TAVERNA
(SEFERIS 1900-1971)

Met a translator
of Seferis
in a taverna
just back from
the Greek islands
here in Boston
told him we called
this city the Athens
of America
it was if time stopped
in a metamorphosis
when he spoke his poetry
and drinks, politics,our age
all dropped by us
even George was back.
