The Poet's Life
I sat on the large stone in the middle of the picnic field. I had my notebook out and was busy scribbling away. There were couples and families and dogs and blankets. There was food and sport and laughter and a few tears. The more life unfurled around me, the faster my pencil lurched across the page.
This is the life of the poet. A life of watching. You might call me a mirror, or a tape recorder. I am an instrument.
But life is lived whether we laugh and love our way to death or record others doing it.
