Hey, Listen to this.
The poetry of story.
A poet tells a story about stories.
Poetry, gossip and the pursuit of
Pleasure.
Is there any other way?
Now what do you think of me?
You’ve got to stop and be there
for the poem as long as it takes.
Just stand still.
Wherever you are is called here,
and the song goes on.
The time will come when you can
feast on your life.
We sit by the fire and tell stories
because each of us tells the same
story but tells it differently,
and we will honor all stories.
Remember, the world offers
itself to your imagination.
One of the best things life ever
handed me was my faithful dog.
and what do you want to remember?
Just remember now.
Wherever you go, right now.
Keep it for life.
