I went for a walk this beautiful morning
I went for a walk this beautiful morning.
The sun was shining; birds were singing;
And my heart was fluttering.
A soft susurrous sound surrounded me
It sweetly said, "Roberto, my dear honey,
Keep your faith, you're loved and you're blessed.
No matter what the stupid bitch said,
You're good, you're my kind of man
And I'm so glad we have met.
I don't know why that Jewish woman gave you pain.
You're tall, strong, gorgeous, and a poet.
What else did she want?
Ah, maybe on her you didn't spend money.
Why should you? With her, keep being nonchalant.
I know, she's too stupid to see that she's "funny"
And almost everything she said was trite.
Forget her, don't let her get a rise out of you.
After all, you told me she wasn't too bright."
The sound was soft music to my ears
It was exactly what I wanted to hear.
I rushed home and dug out a poem I wrote.
I now want to dedicate it to the sound I just met:
"voices to voices, lips to lips
with heavy homage to e.e. cummings
voices to voices, lips to lips
i swear to you and to everyone else
that they make up the undying
of this sentiment that refuses to sleep
what's beyond logic
can only be magic
in this moment that even God
cannot compete
i bring you no flowers but only
scuplture of my words
if you close your eyes
you'll miss their kiss
voices and lips are more than just for songs and kisses
who cares if some sons of bitches
insist that Spring be the opening
of hearts and smiles
i am not afraid to dream that and this
nor am i afraid to fly"
