Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it. - Thoreau

i wanted to dance but knew no moves

so i flailed my arms and thrashed my legs

in a bold decree of what music proves

Author's Note

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - Thoreau
