The Pilgrimage, Book II: Part 31 / Phillip Neal Tippin
If provincial
I’m allowed
To be “original”
How do I learn the last six years again—
Only better this time?
Don’t rush through those twelve dollars
Since reading is a toll road now, better
Go slow and become a conscious “per use” scholar
As money is not just food but language’s pater.
He learned to play the bodhrán too young,
For, when he’s tired of playing without a thought,
He’ll not deign to play what his hands and heart still long.
