Sherendipity Saturday: This Is Just to Say

Note: A classic WCW poem I first read the summer of junior year.  He's also a genius able to make lyrics and melody out of ordinary language.  Even his name is a song.

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
- William Carlos Williams
