A poem by Larry Eigner

Larry Eigner, a poet with severe cerebral palsy, reads a poem.

From The United States of Poetry episode "The Word."

Copyright Washington Square Arts, 1995.

What time is it day I may sleep hour on hour
or all the time, what
a consideration, you pretty good, what a question forwards in a circle the other way around it may have gone, the thought of what to do a tree sits and birds come there's a word for each leaf, and each wall and a word for nothing
