Round 43

Yusef: "To Zbigniew Herbert's Bicycle" by W.S. Merwin

Bob: "To my Father's Houses" by W.S. Merwin

Bill vs. Bill! We've achieved alphabetical equilibrium a few rounds after the half-way point. Unfortunately, the two Merwins have written the SAME poem. Not literally, but the relation between Herbert and the bicycle is the same as the relation between the father and his houses, and the speaker's attitude toward this relation is identical. Herbert doesn't really own the bicycle and the father doesn't really own any of his houses. This one is a draw.
