better than poetry

is my poetry

wich refers

to everything

that is beautiful and

dignified, but is

neither of these itself

(...)

bettter than me

are you

kinder than me

are you

sweeter smarter faster

you you you

prettier than me

stronger than me

lonelier than me

I want to get

to know you

better and better

Leonard Cohen in the Book of Longing

Mt Baldy, 1996
