But ...er- I think I pinched it from somewhere else! But I did buy the book and I am sure that Billy Collins won't mind me posting it as he seemed a very nice person when I met him. I like it if other people quote my poems as long as they say where they got them from,(which they do sometimes) But then I am my own publisher anyway. BUY BILLY COLLINS BOOKS!! Buy any poetry! Really! Poets need the cash, we cannot live on absinthe alone!Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016400435180135929.post-19524406899030664232007-03-19T16:01:00.000+00:002007-03-19T16:01:00.000+00:00Thanks for putting More Than A Woman up mum, the f...Thanks for putting More Than A Woman up mum, the first time on the web!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284082835424987769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016400435180135929.post-33749632799071095572007-03-19T15:36:00.000+00:002007-03-19T15:36:00.000+00:00oh and those annoying tunes are sometimes called e...oh and those annoying tunes are sometimes called earworms I believeGillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016400435180135929.post-47073817528092805322007-03-19T15:07:00.000+00:002007-03-19T15:07:00.000+00:00This is copyright of Billy Collins so if you like ...This is copyright of Billy Collins so if you like it buy his book NINE HORSES because poets don't make much money!<BR/><BR/><BR/>More than a Woman<BR/>by Billy Collins <BR/><BR/>Ever since I woke up today, <BR/>a song has been playing uncontrollably <BR/>in my head--a tape looping <BR/><BR/>over the spools of the brain, <BR/>a rosary in the hands of a frenetic nun, <BR/>mad fan belt of a tune. <BR/><BR/>It must have escaped from the radio <BR/>last night on the drive home <BR/>and tunneled while I slept <BR/><BR/>from my ears to the center of my cortex. <BR/>It is a song so cloying and vapid <BR/>I won't even bother mentioning the title, <BR/><BR/>but on it plays as if I were a turntable <BR/>covered with dancing children <BR/>and their spooky pantomimes, <BR/><BR/>as if everything I had ever learned <BR/>was being slowly replaced <BR/>by its slinky chords and the puffballs of its lyrics. <BR/><BR/>It played while I watered the plant <BR/>and continued when I brought in the mail <BR/>and fanned out the letters on a table. <BR/><BR/>It repeated itself when I took a walk <BR/>and watched from a bridge <BR/>brown leaves floating in the channels of a current <BR/><BR/>In the late afternoon it seemed to fade, <BR/>but I heard it again at the restaurant <BR/>when I peered in at the lobsters <BR/><BR/>lying on the bottom of an illuminated <BR/>tank which was filled to the brim <BR/>with their copious tears. <BR/><BR/>And now at this dark window <BR/>in the middle of the night <BR/>I am beginning to think <BR/><BR/>I could be listening to music of the spheres, <BR/>the sound no one ever hears <BR/>because it as been playing forever, <BR/><BR/>only the spheres are colored pool balls, <BR/>and the music is oozing from a jukebox<BR/>whose light I can just make out through the clouds.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13379877200876051274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016400435180135929.post-80557959074880402032007-03-19T13:33:00.000+00:002007-03-19T13:33:00.000+00:00Yes Amarillo is quite evil.
