Leonard Cohen / Thousands

Leonard Cohen by Shayc


THOUSANDS
by Leonard Cohen


Leonard Cohen / Miles

Out of the thousands
who are known,
or who want to be known
as poets,
maybe one or two
are genuine
and the rest are fakes,
hanging around the sacred
precincts
trying to look like the real thing.
Needless to say
I am one of the fakes,
and this is my story

Book of Longing, 2006.
