'short poem' by kurt vonnegut
two little good girls
watchful and wise –
clever little hands
and big kind eyes –
look for signs that the world is good,
comport themselves as good folk should.
they wonder at a father
who is sad and funny strong,
and they wonder at a mother
like a childhood song.
and what, and what
do the two think of?
of the sun
and the moon
and the earth
and love.
