Love Poem

This morning I got a CD of my favourite author, Richard Brautigan, reading stories and poems from his work. What a find! I've always wanted to know what he sounds like. He sounds really nerdy. Great.

I haven't listened to it all yet but there's a great recording of his 'Love Poem' spoken, one by one, by some of his friends and his daughter. To get the effect of this, copy and paste this poem into Simple Text on a Mac and go to 'speak selection' then try again with all the different voices.

Love Poem

It's so nice
to wake up in the morning
all alone
and not have to tell somebody
you love them
when you don't love them
any more.
