OH man OH man, when I think of all the big time poets
who became billionaires.
OH, I think of W.S. Merwin an his poem, entitled "Term"
At the last minute a word is waiting
Not heard that way before
and not to be repeated or
ever be remembered
one that had always been a
household word used
in speaking the ordinary
recurrences of living
not newly chosen or long
considered or a moment
of comment afterward
who would ever have thought
it was one
saying itself from beginning through
all its uses and circumstances
to utter at last that meaning of
its own for which it had long been
the only word thought it seems
now that any word would do
Oh boy, man oh man, that guy W.S. Merwin
Man, he took them words right out of my
mouth.
Peace! |
