   In a rush this weekday morning,
   I tap the horn as I speed past the cemetery
   where my parents are buried
   side by side beneath a slab of smooth granite.

   Then, all day, I think of him rising up
   to give me that look
   of knowing disapproval
   while my mother calmly tells him to lie back down.

BILLY COLLINS's new and selected poems, Sailing Alone Around the Room, is forthcoming in 2001 from Random House.
