The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 5/9/10

[BlueIris]

"A Pact"

I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman--
I have detested you long enough.
I come to you as a grown child
Who has had a pig-headed father;
I am old enough now to make friends.
It was you that broke the new wood,
Now is a time for carving.
We have one sap and one root--
Let there be commerce between us.

--Ezra Pound

3. "Nobody really understands Pound, they just pretend to."

Is something Josh Charles once said on "In Treatment." The most addictive HBO series ever made.
