Kinetic typography -K. Koch's POEM

  Kenneth Koch's words

are given rhythm by the visual effect of kinetic typography : "watch" 'You want a social life, with friends' in the video below :

You want a social life, with friends.
A passionate love life and as well
To work hard every day. What's true
Is of these three you may have two
And two can pay you dividends
But never may have three.

There isn't time enough, my friends--
Though dawn begins, yet midnight ends--
To find the time to have love, work, and friends. Michelangelo had
feeling For Vittoria and the Ceiling
But did he go to parties at day's end?

Homer nightly went to banquets
Wrote all day but had no lockets
Bright with pictures of his Girl.
I know one who loves and parties
And has done so since his thirties
But writes hardly anything at all.

a poem by Kenneth Koch

Hey, should some students hesitate, let me give you a clue : Homer was not an animated character from the Simpsons series                      The poet claims "two can pay dividends", but "you may never have three": do you agree on this ? I guess the answers will all be different -close to philosophy, hmm ? Anyway, I believe only time will tell !
