Toot

I will be content

to situate myself in the mountains

and wait

for the flotsam,

the ragged stray edges of it all,

that will find me

even there.

And, as a dutiful poet,

I shall try to tell the world what I see and feel,

knowing all the while

that they do not care,

do not listen,

do not ever learn.

And I intend,

naturally,

to stay drunk.

— Li Po, Chinese Court Poet, ca. 750CE
