Poets answer an age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road? 11. Seamus Heaney
Poets answer an age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Seamus Heaney:
Husbandry says “Stay safe
on this side of the street.”
But once in a while
a chicken will rise to her feet
(if she’s not met defeat)
and see that the other side
is reachable from here.
Now she comes near.
