matt sung’s inspiration

Street poetry
Add to Folder | Comments (2) | July 15, 2007

I ran into an interesting fellow in front of the barnes and noble bookstore who was sitting on the sidewalk with his typewriter. He had his hands pointed up at the sky and was muttering something inaudible, but you knew he was probably a poet.

I asked if I could take his picture, and he asked me if I wanted a poem. "Sure", I said somewhat dumbfoundedly.

"Give me a word," he said.

Appropriately enough, I chose the word "perplexed", and this what what he wrote.
