Loading ...Then I also, after ‘Self Employed’, sometime later wrote ‘Curriculum Vitae’ and at the end of it I allude to something that Yeats said (close paraphrase if not the exact words): he said “rhetoric comes from the quarrel one has with the world, and poetry comes from the quarrel one has with oneself.”
‘Curriculum Vitae’
1
Scribe out of work
At a loss for words
Not his to begin with,
The man life passed by
Stands at the window
Biding his time
2
Time and again
And now once more
I climb these stairs
Unlock this door -
No name where I live
Alone in my lair
With one bone to pick
And no time to spare
