read this phrase from a living poet eulogizing a deceased poet:
went to local poetry readings when there were good ones
>
I knew the deceased poet and he was kind to me
even though I was nowhere close to his level of accomplishment
and I knew he wouldn’t write a sentence eulogizing someone
with the phrase I quoted from the Eminent Living Poet
>
to me, all the local readings I attended were good ones
you learn from the best, the mid-level and the worst
and there are talks to talk and walks to walk
even if you choose to talk and walk
without a feverish despair for what may be fickle acceptance
