…In honor of International Poets Day, and the first day of Spring (and Gord Downie, one of my real heroes) I offer you one of my favorite Poets of all time…
“Spring starts when a heartbeat’s pounding
When the birds can be heard above the reckoning carts doing some final accounting
Lava flowing in Superfarmer’s direction
He’s been getting reprieve from the heat in the frozen food section
Don’t tell me what the poets are doing
Don’t tell me that they’re talking tough
Don’t tell me that they’re anti-social
Somehow not anti-social enough (alright)
Don’t tell me what the poets are doing
On the street and the epitome of vague
Don’t tell me how the universe is altered
When you find out how he gets paid”
