The Question of Influence
Bill SchnebergerWhere do I get it
Who does it come from
How did it get here
What shall I do with it
When will it stop
Why do I askIs it
From the history of man
The myth of art
The silence of nature
The structure of formIs it
From the commerce of art
The mountain not seen
The absence of stars tracking the sky
The lack of conceptionIs it
From unfinished pieces
The loss of my father
The clatter of my heart
The want of somethingOr
Is it
From never having seen Schenectady
And everything that happens in circles
