    You guys have any?

    I have to go with "The Waste Land", by T.S. Eliot. Very modern, very abstract, very cool.

    Vuestros favoritos?

    Vachel Lindsay (1879-1931)
    The Little Turtle

    A Recitation for Martha Wakefield, Three Years Old

    There was a little turtle.
    He lived in a box.
    He swam in a puddle.
    He climbed on the rocks.

    He snapped at a mosquito.
    He snapped at a flea.
    He snapped at a minnow.
    And he snapped at me.

    He caught the mosquito.
    He caught the flea.
    He caught the minnow.
    But he didn't catch me.

    I love "Love Poem" by John Frederick Nims:


    My clumsiest dear, whose hands shipwreck vases,
    At whose quick touch all glasses chip and ring,
    Whose palms are bulls in china, burs in linen,
    And have no cunning with any soft thing


    Except all ill-at-ease fidgeting people:
    The refugee uncertain at the door
    You make at home; deftly you steady
    The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.


    Unpredictable dear, the taxi drivers' terror,
    Shrinking from far headlights pale as a dime
    Yet leaping before apoplectic streetcars—
    Misfit in any space. And never on time.


    A wrench in clocks and the solar system. Only
    With words and people and love you move at ease;
    In traffic of wit expertly maneuver
    And keep us, all devotion, at your knees.


    Forgetting your coffee spreading on our flannel,
    Your lipstick grinning on our coat,
    So gaily in love's unbreakable heaven
    Our souls on glory of split bourbon float.


    Be with me, darling, early and late. Smash glasses—
    I will study wry music for your sake.
    For should your hands drop white and empty
    All the toys of the world would break.
