HUNCH  HUNTERS

 

Poets are hunch hunters.

What are you talking about?

Well, poets are trying to get

glimpses into what’s going on.

What are you talking about?

Well, poets listen. They watch.

They spend their time trying to

figure out motives and meanings -

and sometimes put it into words.

Doesn’t everybody do that?

You got it. You got it.

Well then, am I a poet?

You are. Yet you have to

figure that out for yourself.

Sometimes you have to try

to put it into words and images

that nobody seems to understand -

especially yourself. You can do it.
