Graffiti 84

Let those who will stride on their barren roads
 And prick themselves to haste with self-made goads, 
 Unheeding, as they struggle day by day, 
 If flowers be sweet or skies be blue or gray:
 For me, the lone, cool way by purling brooks,
 The solemn quiet of the woodland nooks,
 A song-bird somewhere trilling sadly gay,
 A pause to pick a flower beside the way.
-Paul Laurence Dunbar

Each time it rings
i think it is for
me but it is
not for me nor for

anyone it merely
rings and we
serve it bitterly
together, they and I
-William Carlos Williams
