I sailed like a swan I sank like a rock But time is long gone Past my laughing stock - Leonard Cohen

And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion Her cradle still unfilled For the heart with no companion For the soul without a king For the prima ballerina Who cannot dance to anything

to the young let me say:
I am not sage, rebbe, roshi, guru
I am Bad Example.
to experienced persons
who have criticized my life work
as cheap, superficial, pretentious, insignificant:
you do not know
how Right you are

O you've seen that man before his golden arm dispatching cards but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
