Standing in a River Thinking ( a poem dedicated to Kurt Vonnegut)
Here's a quote by Kurt Vonnegut that i love
"...The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
--Kurt Vonnegut
So taking his advice I wrote a poem - maybe a lousy poem - about standing in a river. But at least I have created something today.
Standing in a River Thinking ( a poem dedicated to Kurt Vonnegut)
slipping coil of winding silver
carry me
white washed
in noise - papoosed in drifting mist
I am attached as you are
to gravity and slide
quickly from time to time,
or
else
to the oblivious sea slowly
