Analysis of Drifting
The classics are on the shelf.
Beethoven still composed when he went deaf.
Some are keepers,
others weepers.
A Bob Dylan line, The painter and poet behind his rightful time.
Who wound up that dude?
Life is a big joke.
Another one.
What will my death bring?
I hope some will sing.
