238: Where can we shout (our) poems to the stars?/I can’t think of one place...
Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 9:31PM Where can we shout (our) poems to the stars?
I can’t think of one place
let’s try everywhere
Everywhere
like the man who sings to no radio
walking down the street,
sings to no radio waiting for the train
O! to sing, to sing
and for the song to be everything
O! I know why the wolves howl
I know why the coyotes cry
The early bird isn’t waiting for the worm
it’s yearning to fly
Where can we shout our poems to the stars?
everywhere, everywhere
sing drunk in the streets,
sing sober in the bars,
sing for the song to be singing
and not realize where you are
every one will call you crazy
and stay away
When nothing matters
but the song you’ve found
you’ll be shouting poems to the stars
in all the right places
music will surround you
like god humming in your ear
Where can we shout our poems to the stars?
only there! only there!
