There will always be a poem
I will climb on top of it and come
In and out of time,
Cocking my head to the side slightly,
As I finish shaking, melting then
Into its body, its soft skin
--Jim Carroll, "Poem"

This makes me so happy. Jim Carroll rocks! Have you seen Poetry in Motion? If not, you absolutely MUST see it Miss MAB :) I love the way he reads. He captivates me...
