Short excerpt of Ryan Adams reading 'White Diamond' from his poetry book Hello Sunshine, at the 'Live from the NYPL' series event with Mary-Louise Parker, September 25, 2009
Here is the text he is reading:
...
cuffs out
smoking and being asses, beer-gutted and crook-toothed
and/or
i am surrounded
in a white formica silver-and-gold flecked booth by
library anomalies
the diner is me but a robot me with shiny insides
silver on thewalls
real metal
in the back-where the swinging doors swing
when the BELL pops and goes RING
like a cat
moving across porcelain pizza boxes
...
I've never really 'got' poetry, but this is pretty cool!

It's not quite the same without melody....but i'll try it just cause.
