Question

| What is the boy now, who has lost his ball
What, what is he to do? I saw it go
Merrily bouncing, down the street, and then u
Merrily over – there it is in the water!)
(No use to say 'O there are other balls':
An ultimate shaking grief fixes the boy
As he stands rigid, trembling, staring down
All his young days into the harbour where I
His ball went. I would not intrude on him:
A dime, another ball, is worthless. Now
He senses first responsibility )
In a world of possessions. People will take
Balls, balls will be lost always, little boy. 3
And no one buys a ball back. Money is external.
He is learning, well behind his desperate eyes,
The epistemology of loss, how to stand up
Knowing what every man must one day know
And most know many days, how to stand up.)
