This poem written by Alexander Eichen for his brother Andrew <br /> <br />One last long poor vibrato <br />From a whale who swallows opera singers <br /> <br />Don't let the light expose you- <br />Like a rabbit at night <br />Against a wooden (old) fence <br /> <br />Don't huff out like a candle <br />Under heavy breath. <br />Even if it is their birthday <br /> <br />Don't become a plastic cup, <br />The washed out cabinet loiter <br />Spill proof safe for children kind <br /> <br />No. <br /> <br />Run from the dog, forever! <br />Set the yard ablaze! <br />Teach those shoeless bastards why they fear <br />A glass that's fallen to the floor! <br /> <br />Then you'll be <br />What I am not... <br /> <br />A whale who sings!<br /><br />Bob and Alex Eichen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-to-my-brother/
