POETRY SAVED ME
If it hadn't been for poetry
what would I have done
with all those cliffs
I almost jumped off of--
with all the riffs
in the music of my life
I couldn't seem
to get enough of.
With all the passion
I imagined I couldn't
live without. Poetry
was the place I passed up
the junctions I might
have chosen otherwise,
when Wise had nothing
to do with it. You can
be sure of it: Poetry
saved my life.
