Here I sit alone and bitter..Quietly stuck upon this shitter..I wish I could just squeeze and go..But then unfinished business be the seed I sew..So I must sit here till this ends..Maybe next time I will use depends..:)- Cube 9/3/2008

Poetry is the breath of eaglesPerched on the heart.One word and they cry.Two words and they fly.In silence they die.Broken winged and deadLike poetry unsaid.Flight is the arcing of invisible geometriesWhich leave no trace on the air.This is the purpose of the wing :To unfold the flight path of spiritAnd in poetry sing.

Oh look it's Robert Hass who makes money writing poems about trees printed in superfluous numbers on paper from trees, who has to date nothing to say about his campus planning to slaughter of one of the last stands of coastal oaks, as well as thousands of trees in the hills.

I learned "If" as a young child, yet feel as though I never heard it before hearing Coach Braun read it.

I would like to thank the University of Berkeley- california for putting this and all the other videos up for public viewing. The poetry was brilliant, but I also happened to come across the late Edward Said's talk which was inspirational- A J from London, England.
