Poetry returns to New York subway - Yahoo! News

The first offering, which appeared in subway cars Tuesday, is "Graduation," by Dorothea Tanning, an American poet who died this year at the age of 101 in New York:

"He told us, with the years, you will come

to love the world.

And we sat there with our souls in our laps,

and comforted them."

Just in time for National Poetry Month, too. I used to love the poems I saw on the Washington Metro.
