We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

Coping with the World

 

Listening to the thin squeak 

of my radio turned low

playing non-stop jazz 

all day and night, but not

to disturb the neighbours … 

I fill my dark with

other people’s dreams.

I read, too – stories that all 

end happily, they are all alike. 

Afterwards, I forget them.
