I should have written you by now To shatter this earth To shake its bushes I should be immovable On the coveted throne Of literary immortality; I should be sought out, Consulted and paged My words sniffed and sipped Like wine well-aged I should be given Golden keys to cities, Should be stepping On red carpets unrolled; But no, here I am And you are dwelling elsewhere� Still, I've my hopes That my pen and hand Will create and record you; Then I�ll play in the band.
