If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away---Henry David Thoreau

Another journal entry: Thursday, September 11, 1997
This stale morning I sit
in my office reading poetry
words strung together like pearls
shimmering against brown skin
The words have strings that draw me
beyond the walls of my still office
past the asphalt veins of the city
through the fields of Amish corn
to unseen worlds of the heart
Words have wings
and today I read poetry
because I need to fly away
