By the way, I looked that LC song up that one of your poems reminded me of
yesterday, off his second album, "The Partisan":

The Partisan

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
This I could not do
I took my gun and vanished.

I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
But I have many friends,
And some of them are with me

-Leonard Cohen
