In Zanesville Ohio, pottery's
Detroit, the kilns are cold
half a century. As well
Roseville down the road,
Crooksville, South
Zanesville, all over
the "Y"-shape bridge
astride the Licking
and the Muskingum.
Once
the paper
spread an arrest
of a youth failing to hang
before he crossed the "Y" at night
a lighted lantern on his horse's tail,
an Ohio violation. Next day he
raged his pottery had made
him out a fool. But his
and all his hecklers'
kilns glowed then.
