LEAVES OF GRASS

it is no coincidence that BLOCKBUSTER EXPRESS
allowed me a FREE DVD -and it was LEAVES OF GRASS-
a tale of twins who learn each other as mirror origins
and who smash the image of poetry as mere soundtrack
Then,@THE HIDEOUT,she brings the actual book
of he who cut his life off-reads passages to us
so we can feel the body electric/and sing the life force
back in
Did you forget how Walt was FREE VERSE/self-published?
as popular then as now/even when its vitality and vibrancy
could not save the life of one whose love was poetry
We listen.I watch and remember.If one line saves one life
this breath is gold.If it is your life,platinum
Worth more than all the rescued bailed out banks in America
our culture sings our body politic electric
and saves our lives with every living line remembered
