am i the only one who finds this poem a bit creepy?
*****

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away.

Hugh Means (1875 – 1965)

http://tofuji-poetry.blogspot.com/2003_06_22_tofuji-poetry_archive.html

I was, out of sheer boredom, doing an internet search to see if any references to my fake band El Pollo Verde were around [or any of the mp3s we put up on mp3.boston.com when it existed]

anyway, that's one of about 3 poems I ever wrote, and decided to try to put it into song form - but i wanted to ask - how the heck did you get the lyrics, and then, how did you come to find out we had put it up as an mp3?

Wild, man!

great poem! i found the online, where perhaps you or one of your bandmates, or maybe even a fan may have posted it. if "blather" means anything to you, then you know where i found it.

as for the mp3, i think i found it one day on bear share. i did a search for it on a whim, and up popped the song. it wasn't quite to my musical taste, so i may have deleted it since then.

if that's only 1 of your 3 poems ever written, you should consider continuing, if only just for fun. :)

it's also in the movie Identity which came out in 2002.
