The Art of Poetry To gaze at a river made of time and water And remember Time is another river. To know we stray like a river and our faces vanish like water.To feel that waking is another dream that dreams of not dreaming and that the death we fear in our bones is the death that every night we call a dream.To see in every day and year a symbol of all the days of man and his years, and convert the outrage of the years into a music, a sound, and a symbol.To see in death a dream, in the sunset a golden sadness--such is poetry, humble and immortal, poetry, returning, like dawn and the sunset.Sometimes at evening there's a face that sees us from the deeps of a mirror. Art must be that sort of mirror, disclosing to each of us his face.They say Ulysses, wearied of wonders, wept with love on seeing Ithaca, humble and green. Art is that Ithaca, a green eternity, not wonders.Art is endless like a river flowing, passing, yet remaining, a mirror to the same inconstant Heraclitus, who is the same and yet another, like the river flowing. -Jorge Luis Borges

"the real me"I went back to the doctor To get another shrink. I sit and tell him about my weekend, But he never betrays what he thinks.Can you see the real me, doctor?I went back to my mother I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me." She said, "I know how it feels son, 'Cause it runs in the family."Can you see the real me, mother?The cracks between the paving stones Look like rivers of flowing veins. Strange people who know me Peeping from behind every window pane. The girl I used to loveLives in this yellow house. Yesterday she passed me by, She doesn't want to know me now.Can you see the real me, can you?I ended up with the preacher, Full of lies and hate, I seemed to scare him a little So he showed me to the golden gate.Can you see the real me preacher?
