And it was at that age....Poetry arrived
in search of me.  I don't know, I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when,
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
-- Pablo Neruda
*quick point i would like to bring up =
my dating system is a little weird. Oh well. I use the same format
and it suits me quite well, so it's not going to go away.
If i wrote something on October 18, 2003 then i will number it
to look like: 03.18.10, completely backwards.
Confused?
