It Is A Fact

It is a fact that bumblebees have hair on their eyes
and humans, also, should comb though everything they see.

     As soon as I'm not entirely and wholly too broke to buy books, I'm buying all of Andrea Gibson's anthologies.  I discovered her work a few days ago and I've literally been unable to stop myself from watching videos of her performances.  Her words are so powerful, the way her voice shakes and her body's enveloped by emotion.  You can tell how important all of these little stories are to her, how much they mean.  This is how I want my poetry to be; not something written, something lived.
