              I MAKE a pact with you, Walt Whitman-
              I have detested you long enough.
              I come to you as a grown child
              Who has had a pig-headed father;
              I am old enough now to make friends.
              It was you that broke the new wood,
              Now is a time for carving.
              We have one sap and one root-
              Let there be commerce between us.
