THREE fromTHE OLD POET SAYS
"Shall we gather
at the river?
Shall we wish
upon a star?
Fifty cents won't
get you coffee.
That's the way
things are."
*
"Offer your nothings
to the universe.
The universe will
offer you nothing.
That's how it is
with poets."
*
"Poets make promises
they intend to keep,
and they would keep them
if they could,
but they're poets.
You've been warned."
