Most Influential Failure in My Lifetime

Ode to Nick Drake 1948-1974

A breath

One leaf left

Short as a cigarette puff

Time has told me

Day is done

For the poor boy.

Drift away

Like a cloud across

Saturday’s sun.

Life was brief

For the man in a shed.

Parasite

His music is

Why did it play too late?

Struck

As if a chime

On a city clock.

Death

By depression

Is a terrible cure

For a troubled mind.
