A New Slant on River’s Old Riddle

For Joe

Water resounds as stone sits silent,
contemplating quiet environs.

Stone is silent as water resounds,
expounding on the joys of noise.

How odd they should so often be neighbors!
Each one wishing the other were like them.

John T. Unger poet

I'm best known as an artist and designer. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

Before becoming a visual artist, I spent 15 years as a poet. I studied poetry at Interlochen Arts Academy, Naropa, Stone Circle and on the streets. I performed my work for years at Stone Circle, solo shows, poetry readings, and at Lollapalooza in 1996.

I still write poems, but only if I can make them fit the constraints ofTwitter.
