How long does a poem wait for her poet
To catch up with her? She has landscapes
To capture, and a procession
Of protestors to click, and others to touch,
While he scratches his head searching for
Lice, and images to satisfy her body and soul – –
How long does a poem wait for her poet
Before she grows impatient with his worthless wooing
And decides to pack her bags and go?
And as she waves goodbye and blows kisses
The train of his thoughts
Disappears into the last tunnel – –
How long does the poet wait for another poem
To smile and make a pass at him
Standing, empty-handed, on a crowded platform?
A unique concept of the composition of poetry as a romance between the Muse and the poet .
