Aubade
Elegy
The Embrace
Gee-Gees Were Horses ...
The Gem
Hymn to an Automatic Washer
In Praise of Old Wives
In the Old House
It Took TV to Civilize ...
The Mouse Sets Out on His Journey
The New Courtship
On Coming to Nothing
Plea Denied
The Stream
Under the Moon's Nightly ...
The Visitors
You Were So Solid, Father ...
