Ha!
\nI say to be original
\nis the easiest thing in the world!
\nNo really!<\/p>\n
You neednt do

\nYou need only do
\nwhats Not being done Now.

\nLook for things that go unnoticed,
\nlisten for voices lost in the din,
\nlet the buried bubble up!<\/p>\n

\ntil they become damaging myths.

\nfull of neglected varietals
\nand healing herbs!<\/p>\n

\nWhere are the kind voices,
\nwhere the awonder?<\/p>\n
