These modest lineswhich I wouldn’t dare call poetryfor lacking the power of artmay at least bring a smileor a new thoughtinto bold momentary relieffor being something new,unexpected,though not very deepor certainly profound.My voicemay be odd, tooand may not harmonize immediatelyor comfortablywith your own inner voiceor what you expector hope for in lines like these.And you may be right!But if there’s any worthin these wordsand if they touch a few heartsand minds and spiritsperhaps a certain commonality may have briefly come to lifehere among usand the foolishness and vanityof wasted time, wasted dayspursuing artmay not becomemy epitaph.
