Some Days

There are days when I feel like this.....

------IMPASSE
I could tell you
If I wanted to,
What makes me
What I am

But I don't
really want to -
And you don't
give a damn.



And then there are other days when it's more like this....

-------MOTTO
I play it cool
And dig all jive -
That's the reason
I stay alive.

My motto,
As I live and learn
Is Dig and be Dug
In return.


These simple poems say it all. Can any of you guess who wrote these? C'mon it's really easy; but remains one of the most influential people I have ever had the pleasure of learning about.

I'll explain why in my next post.

Peace
