Show Me the Place, 28


“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior in As You Like It (2.1)


28: 214 S. Willow; Kent, Ohio; 1972–75*

We moved into a larger place—
We had a child—we needed space.
A rental—but a splendid one
Where Steve would grow—where we had fun.

And what a thrill for Joyce and me:
Each had a study! Ecstasy!
And Joyce was teaching—so was I—
And taking classes, by the by.

But soon we knew we’d move again—
To own our place! (But where? And when?)
We found a house not far away—
And there we moved one hopeful day.
