"Litany" (The Bread and The Knife), by Billy Collins
Here is me reading/reciting a poem I like. It's called "Litany", and it's by Billy Collins, Former US Poet Laureate and New York State Poet.
A loose transcript of the poem recited is below.
"Litany"
'You are the bread and the knife,
The crystal goblet and the wine...'
-Jacques Crickillon
You are the bread and the knife,
the crystal goblet and the wine.
You are the dew on the morning grass
and the burning wheel of the sun.
You are the white apron of the baker,
and the marsh birds suddenly in flight.
However, you are not the wind in the orchard,
the plums on the counter,
or the house of cards.
And you are certainly not the pine-scented air.
There is just no way that you are the pine-scented air.
It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge,
maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,
but you are not even close
to being the field of cornflowers at dusk.
And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither the boots in the corner
nor the boat asleep in its boathouse.
It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the sound of rain on the roof.
I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.
I am also the moon in the trees
and the blind woman's tea cup.
But don't worry, I'm not the bread and the knife.
You are still the bread and the knife.
You will always be the bread and the knife,
not to mention the crystal goblet and--somehow--the wine.

Bryce Avary does the Moonwalk
Переглядів 6711 років тому
This clip is what I would refer to as "bonus footage". My musical hero, Bryce Avary (of The Rocket Summer), does the moonwalk for the crowd - even though he said he would only do it if one of the venue staff did a wall stand(?) again. It was a great concert. Longest/greatest encore ever. Haha (: Filmed with iPhone 5. All rights reserved.

    I've always loved their version of this. Tonight I was looking for a video of the song to share to a friend, but have been stuck watching this over and over. I hope to see then in March and experience it live for myself. Until then, this is so fucking awesome. Thank you!

    "And a quick look in the mirror will show that you are neither the boots in the corner nor the boat asleep in its boathouse." I liked that line and the stanza that followed it was amazing. I loved the energy and vibe you created this with. Well done

    The best concert of my life was when the rocket summer headlined a show in Detroit in 2006. The energy was amazing with everyone dancing the entire time. Bryce was so awesome after the show. I got to meet him and he signed a shirt and a drumstick I got from the show. Thanks for an awesome, unforgettable time, TRS!

    This is my favorite song by them. This version blew me away, I wish they would have put it to CD. I was there at that concert and it was absolutely amazing! .. Although whoever was in charge of the sound equipment there at the Beaumont Club needs to be fired. Cranking the volume to 100 does not mean better quality sound, idiots. I was at the VERY back of the club and it was still running 120db
