Some music from the wonderful Astrud Gilberto! It Might as Well be Spring
i am poet
i write hieroglyphics
and Beowulf
Wuthering Heights
and the Gettysburg Address.
i paint on cave walls
on parchment
sheepskin
subways and bridges.
i dance to words
play the lute of metaphor
harpsichord of discord
pipes of social conscience.
i speak to pathfinders
and zealots
peasants and
housewives
and i listen to what they say so
i can write it all down
on cave walls
parchments
sheepskin
on a little piece of napkin
in a small cafe.
