CALPURNIA
When beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
CAESAR
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Julius Caesar Act II scene ii



a beggar
poetically crippled
a bit shy
your tremendous knowledge
within which like an
egg i fry
to catch up
with you
thank god google
i try
i saw a comet
i did not die
before the cock crows
three times
the messiah
i too will deny
words can make poems
but can poems
make me see
the nebulous
eagle like
pillars of creation
that i deny
hidden within
her oyster eye
a comet that
death defy
