Encounter With the Neighborhood

Walking around on the Lower East Side of New York I see visions of the past I think I will watch the dance of the words As the sun shines overhead we taste the reality we once knew By that I mean the lights of forever Do you really think you will change the world with your poems? The world is full of danger yet that nation within a nation the readers and writers of poetry remains on the radar screen poetry grips the soul Even some athletes write verse |More people should take it up!
