Going through life picking up pieces that have fallen
by the wayside, expressions of sadness, loneliness and
abandonment staring into space.
Holding onto them for future use, feeling their bitter-
sweet taste upon this brain, rocking into a wasteland of
tomorrow.
Finding an everlasting formula in which to bring about
a willful and lasting power within, sharing it with many
people eventually reading what's written in poetry.

I would like to translate this poem
You must have been so influenced by Walt Whitman. I can hear it in your poetic voice. I especially notice it in your introspective poems and in the tribute to a man called BEAR. Is it because you live in New Jersey? Are school children in Camden taught to read Walt Whitman's verses?
