For all reviews and praise and things to come
I write this now just so that you can see
There's no such thing as instantaneous fun
Between great works and vast posterity.
These words are grabbing needles in the brain
And once they're read or heard they'll never go
They're lodged inside and won't disperse again
Although it may take years for them to show.
But keep returning to your head they will,
Until you know there's nothing you can do
You won't be satisfied or rest until
You've heard them once again and seen they're true.
I long to use the phrase "...pearls before swine..."
But no one reads these pearls, they're only mine.
