We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

smokestacks belching gases of pungent yellow smoke like chinese opium addicts who puff poppies through bell-shaped bongs mask the sun's healthy radiance and block the panorama of weeping eyes squinting.
