Morning Verse

Today is Poem in Your Pocket Day, sponsored by the Academy of American Poets. (aside: This could be the start of some really bad jokes.)

Here's a line from the one I'm carrying:

I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous, or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular, but because it never forgot what it could do.

-Naomi Shihab Nye, "Famous"
