Brendan Kennelly : Reservoir Voices (published 2009) from "Outsider"

to see things in a way those who belong
do not. I tend to enjoy what I will
never possess. I sing a different song.

I know there are others who sing it too,
who also live in a place called nowhere.
It's a privilege to see what is beautiful

in worlds that ignore me. Sit there,
see those who will never intrude on my
knowing how a lonely heart is a multitude
