Two Poems By George Held<br />
Author bio: George Held keeps a low profile in NYC, though his poems, stories, and<br />
book reviews appear fairly often in print and online.<br />
What Difference?<br />
(After Robert Frost)<br />
Three roads in a wood converged<br />
and I took the one least trod.<br />
Now I wonder, has that<br />
made any fucking difference?<br />
While Waiting<br />
In the plastic customers’ lounge<br />
at my car dealer’s, the TV blares<br />
The Price Is Right while the sporty<br />
woman across from me reads<br />
a book by Donald Trump,<br />
Xmas lights blink “Welcome,”<br />
and refugees wait endlessly for<br />
permission to enter the promised land.<br />
