For Yaedi Looking out the window at the trees and counting the leaves, listening to a voice within

that tells me nothing is perfect so why bother to try, I am thief of my own time. When I die I want it to be said that I wasted hours in feeling absolutely useless and enjoyed it, sensing my life more strongly than when I worked at it. Now I know myself from a stone or a sledgehammer. ~ David Ignatow ~
(New and Collected Poems, 1970-1985)
