This one is really great. It reminds me of the Czechoslovak animations on TV that I grew up with in the 80s. Thank you, Eve!

That was what the girl on 14th Street said last Saturday night.

Where's Ange?
I thought the "Billy Collins mentioned in a thread" vibes would have hit her by now.

My God, you're right! Should we call the hospitals?

Ange, please report!

wow wow, I love hearing him read, and the animation was not overpowering.

I wonder how it would come across without the words, just a silent flick.

nor I ... he is awesome eh ~

Just this evening I was reading The Art of Drowning ... and I just hated to put it down. Sometimes when sleep beckons, Billy's writes most def. come to mind. He has written
quiet a few poems about bed time and sleeping, lack of or anything to do with it.

Would love to spend a few hours with him conversing just to see his mindset, weird?
Kinda dissect his thoughts and see what makes the wheels turn ...

I could not find it online but if ya'll get a chance his Water Table poem is great. The last stanza ... I love. All I can say is typical Billy with stupendous imagery ~
