JOHN UPDIKE Poem About ... The Hour My Day Begins

________________________________________________________________________________________________

3 A.M.

By the brilliant ramp
of a ceaseless garage
 
the eye like a piece of newspaper
staring from a collage
 
records on a yellowing
gridwork of nerve
 
"policemen move on feet of glue,
sailors stick to the curb."
 ***
