If It Had Not Been For Poetry
If it had not 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 could not
live without. Poetry
was the place I passed up
junctions I might
have chosen otherwise,
when Wise had nothing
to do with it. You can
be sure of it: Poetry
saved my life.
