13 ways to look at a blackbird.....VII


O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the blackbird 
Walks around the feet 
Of the women about you?
-Wallace Stevens

ps. Gone...Again reminds me of how i felt every morning i awoke hungover and promised i wouldn't do it...again - and i did it again
