The thoughts and memories of Dan Hagen

By Dan Hagen

Outside the third-floor window

Of the Physical Science Building

Atop the bare tree,

A gray squirrel

Skitters to a stop,

Sights, shifts tail slightly

Springs

Soars

Skims six sunny feet to seize

Safety with sangfroid.

No theoretician he.

Dan Hagen: Charleston, IL; "This trenchant commentary, which makes the big syndicated "on-the-other-hand" columnists look like Goebel Gerbils, is why I still believe that real journalism gets done most often at the personal newspaper level. Thanks for sharing this. Dan follows one of journalism's proudest traditions!" — Paul McMasters, the First Amendment ombudsman for the Freedom Forum, on Dan Hagen’s newspaper columns
