9224. THE BEST POET THAT NEVER LIVED

THE BEST POET 
THAT NEVER LIVED
That's me, and that's the way I'll keep it.
Ain't saying much, really. You don't know
me any more that I know myself and I keep
surprising that me with myself, in fact. One
hundred new secrets a minute unfold.
-
Like Carson McCullers who said, in
her inimicable southern drawl, "Did
ya see my lovely play? Did ya lahk
muh lovely play? Am Ah gonna win
the Pew-litzer prahzz?"
-
And then, to top it all off, she added:
"Since ah do not unahstand 'Who Ah 
am,' I only know what Ah am not."
