Thanks, edgar, for your help. Loved Famous Blue Raincoat and the Shoop Shoop song.
Our poem for today:
Johnnie Sayre
Father, thou canst never know
The anguish that smote my heart
For my disobedience, the moment I felt
The remorseless wheel of the engine
Sink into the crying flesh of my leg.
As they carried me to the home of widow Morris
I could see the school-house in the valley
To which I played truant to steal rides upon the trains.
I prayed to live until I could ask your forgiveness—
From the solace of that hour I have gained infinite happiness.
Thou wert wise to chisel for me:
"Taken from the evil to come."
Edgar Lee Masters
Ever wonder about Stevie? Here he is on Saturn's Day.
