Anyone who's a fan of our David's work will know that on top of his other talents, he's a bit of a poet. Post the poems he's written that you like below. Here's my favorite. It was from his "pre-turquoise" book with the ingenius title: "It Doesn't Have to Be Like this":
If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet above a field somewhere, people would come from everywhere to marvel at it.
People would walk around it, marveling at its big pools of water, its little pools and the water flowing between the pools. People would marvel at the bumps on it, and the holes in it, and they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in the gas.
The people would marvel at the all the creatures walking around on the surface of the ball, and at the creatures in the water. The people would declare it sacred because it was the only one, and they would protect it so that it would not get hurt.
The ball would be the greatest wonder known, and the people would come to pray to it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty and wonder how it could be.
People would love it and defend it with their lives, because they would somehow know that their lives, their own roundness, could be nothing without it.
