Will Quote #93
Quote from Will in Def Poet's Society
Ashley: Mommy, I'd like to hear a poem. Could you read us one?
Hilary: Okay. This is a poem that your father and I especially love. It's by Amiri Baraka. It's called Three Modes of History and Culture. "l think about a time When I will be relaxed When flames and nonspecific passion Wear themselves away And my eyes and hands And mind can turn And soften And the songs will be softer And weight the air"
Will: [to camera] If you'd like to learn more about poetry, you can reach us at... [laughs] Psych. We just kidding. Good night, y'all.
