                                   A Problem of Translation



A hawker is not
         a man with a falcon on his wrist

is not
         a man with a tray of wrapped candy bars

is maybe
         a baseball player spitting at the plate
         before hitting a homer

or

is Homer

that man unrolling a scroll
standing to one side
conjuring images
