The Dancers Inherit the Party
by Ian Hamilton Finlay

When I have talked for an hour I feel lousy—
Not so when I have danced for an hour:
The dancers inherit the party
While the talkers wear themselves out and sit in corners alone, and glower.

And don't forget the big poetry reading tonight, 7 p.m., Fort Collins at the Harmony Library on the FRCC campus. Featured poets include Michael Bussmann, Matthew Cooperman, Aby Kaupang, Matthew Sage, Dona Stein, Bill Trembley, and Lisa Zimmerman
