And now for something completely different! While Im writing primarily for Nashville these days, I also have a parallel ongoing music project- Im adapting the prose of legendary poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti to popular music. So far I have completed 22 of his poems; quite a challenge actually to translate these to lyrics since they do not rhyme!! Here is an example, for your entertainment if you wish and also here below is Ferlinghettis original poem exactly as written... thanks for listening!! https://youtube/watch?v=rWtklSF9tGc&feature=youtu.be Fortune has its cookies to give out which is a good thing since its been a long time since that summer in Brooklyn when they closed off the street one hot day and the FIREMEN turned on their hoses and all the kids ran out in it in the middle of the street and there were maybe a couple dozen of us out there with the water squirting up to the sky and all over us there was maybe only six of us kids altogether running around in our barefeet and birthday suits and I remember Molly but then the firemen stopped squirting their hoses all of a sudden and went back in their firehouse and started playing pinochle again just as if nothing had ever happened while I remember Molly looked at me and ran in because I guess really we were the only ones there
