Singing a Poem

There’s nothing like exercise married to a needful purpose —

Carrying water, chopping wood, pruning a vineyard, digging a grave,

Building a house, hanging clothes on the line, painting a mural,

Running to the next village with an important message —

I could go on — but not as far as writing a poem.

What about singing one? I don’t know.

I wonder. Yes, yes — perhaps.
