FIELD OF STUDY

 

The next world, of course,

Finds you terrifically interesting

It endows university chairs,

Sets up journals (quarterly and bi-yearly),

And has several learned societies

Devoted just to considering you.

There are, though, difficulties;

Internet service is spotty; books

Constantly rewrite themselves;

Figures in photos feel free to migrate

To ones they like better. Still,

Progress is still being made.

A few tickets are left for a free lecture

On a day you didn't visit Paradise Pond.

There is also a promising new book

On what you might have seen

From a ride in your cochecito nina

On 1 October 1951 if you'd been awake

(Close readers of your life may spot me

Waving from the middle of a footnote.)
