B.Z. Niditch- A Poem

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Reading Virginia Woolf
to teach to freshmen
internationals
at the only light house
around the Cape
with the morning TV guy
saying another wind storm
followed by floods
was imminent,
a guy holding bass
and salmon on his arm
with Gide on the other
reads to us in French
telling about his cruise
as a weather prognosticator 
in startling climate changed
vocabulary
about Siberian exiled writers
women poets from China's
different dynasties,
we invite him to class
and have a great repast.
