Hello, Toads! Today we are taking inspiration from LAURIE ANDERSON.
Thirty years later, I still find the record Mister Heartbreak as fascinating and relevant as when I first heard it. Do you?

Or maybe "O Superman" inspired you. Or Big Science, or her movie Home of the Brave. Or her collaborations with husband Lou Reed. Or her art (performance artist, visual artist, artist-in-residence at NASA, even) or her writing, or her public speaking. Interestingly, Norman Reedus (of The Walking Dead) is releasing a book of photography called The Sun’s Coming Up, Like A Big Bald Head, with Laurie Anderson’s blessing. (The title is a reference to lyrics from "Sharkey’s Day.")
Be inspired, write a new poem, and share it with us. (Please.)
There was this man
And there was this road
And if only I could remember these dreams
I know they're trying to tell me
Something. Strange dreams.
