Wit writ on back of an April Fool's Day Card sent to Jim

Excerpt from Les's application for her teacher's studies, '79

Poems dedicated to the Vietnamese Boat People

In Vietnam
chopsticks
are made from
smooth, petrified wood--
In America,
chopsticks
can give you
splinters

I can eat no longer
with an American fork.

Go ahead, stab your meat
I will caress my food
between
2 soft
sticks
of wood.

Gone, but in our hearts always.
