Poem: We Won’t Make It Any Other Way

Some of my best friends have been songs -

walking home on stormy nights, to a house alone

back when you didn’t have music on your phone -

I’d duck into a bus stop to change batteries (or the CDs) on the

Discman. And I had no idea where I was going – but the songs

were lighting the way, keeping me sane, keeping all

else at bay. Paul Simon and Bob Dylan and Joni
