I really am so sorry. My favorite poets delete natural code for it you don't know he's also kind of just spoke to me and I didn't steal so it's called introduction to poetry Billy Collins I asked them to take a poem and the light like a color slide ear against its hive I say a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out or walk inside the poems room and feel the walls twitch I want them to water ski across the surface of a poem waiting at the author's name on the shore but all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with Rome and torture a confession out of it they begin beating it with a hose find out what it really no need to be anything with the hose to find out what it really mean taking in what share today think about it talk about it later and do you roll exploration of things and what they mean to you so I can thank you for Hispanic and I look forward to hearing from you all leave or or what Chinese Burger inflated to do they talk about how wonderful your generation is which is true one of the first generation that doesn't see color that doesn't see gender that was not the case the Reverend dr. Martin Luther King jr. was assassinated in Memphis Tennessee and add the time Senator Robert F Kennedy who was Senator from New York and was running through was supposed to give a speech in Indianapolis Indiana and he was told when his plane landed the doctor came to head to the sky and everybody said to him is going to be so much trouble if you go because about what dr. king meant everybody in the crowd and I part of what he said Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human being and he died because of that effort.
