Jim was all up in my face because I didn't know what a trivet was, yet he himself had never heard of the "not it" nose-touching game. Who is the bigger ignoramus, please?

The Bagel

I stopped to pick up the bagel
rolling away in the wind,
annoyed with myself
for having dropped it
as if it were a portent.
Faster and faster it rolled,
with me running after it
bent low, gritting my teeth,
and I found myself doubled over
and rolling down the street
head over heels, one complete somersault
after another like a bagel
and strangely happy with myself.
