Poetica

I once read every poem ever written.
Or some of them.
I let the others fall
like over-ripe fruit.

And I stood and I spoke
words of burning--
words of molten gold

which struck those around me
and turned them into ornaments:

without life,
but with purpose.

Awesome.

Also, have you heard My Morning Jacket's "Circuital"? I just heard it in FYE and I liked what I heard so I bought it.

No I have not. I used to love that band though. I'll check it out.
