(4/30)

An excerpt from Easter Sunday by Jessica Hagedorn (from Danger and Beauty)

if I wrote a poem a day
i think i’d be okay
not worry so much
about bein’ crazy
n not doing enough
i mean when you’re crazy
it seems like you should sing about it
all the time! but
sometimes i lose my voice
i get a sore throat
i get laryngitis of the soul
n nothing happens
