The Shapes of Leaves
by Arthur Sze
Ginkgo, cottonwood, pin oak, sweet gum, tulip tree:
our emotions resemble leaves and alive
to their shapes we are nourished.
Have you felt the expanse and contours of grief
along the edges of a big Norway maple?
Have you winced at the orange flare
searing the curves of a curling dogwood?
I have seen from the air logged islands,
each with a network of branching gravel roads,
and felt a moment of pure anger, aspen gold.
I have seen sandhill cranes moving in an open field,
a single white whooping crane in the flock.
And I have traveled along the contours
of leaves that have no name. Here
where the air is wet and the light is cool,
I feel what others are thinking and do not speak,
I know pleasure in the veins of a sugar maple,
I am living at the edge of a new leaf.

quem eu sou... 
acerca do MY Brute. Não calculas o que ele pode provocar em alguém. Olha para isto!: Eu transformei-me no My Brute - Scaloperion 
? ou a energia produtiva anda a ser orientada para algo claramente bem mais útil 
? É claro que isso é obvio...com dois trabalhos de doutoramento em cima! Puxa, só mesmo tú! 
! Mas lá que tem sido, até agora, divertido ai disso não há a menor dúvida... 
Obrigada :*
