Stay Connected“You feel right to me,” she said. “Like naked on cashmere.”
Atticus presents a daily poetry reading of all his poems you know and love, and some you have yet to discover.
This is a moment to pause. A space for self-reflection. A chance for you to rediscover the poetry in life. We hope it’s going to feel really good — like naked on cashmere.

“Here’s To The Ones” by Christopher Poindexter
here's to the ones
who give their love,
energy,
and essence
away for the pleasure
of others.
to the ones
who are so purely selfless
they would rather suffer
so that others do not have to.
here's to the empaths.
here's to the lost.

You will find
that most of life’s
toughest
and more existential
questions
can be solved
or indefinitely postponed
by spending more time
around the people you love.

“Without this – there is nought –” by Emily Dickinson
Without this — there is nought —
All other Riches be
As is the Twitter of a Bird —
Heard opposite the Sea —
I could not care — to gain
A lesser than the Whole —
For did not this include themself —
As Seams — include the Ball?
I wished a way might be
My Heart to subdivide —
'Twould magnify — the Gratitude —
And not reduce — the Gold —

She had an uncanny energy for life
thankful for every little miracle it bestowed—
and it made her
entirely impossible
to live without.

“Mumbling Down The Streets of New York” by Prince Neptune
mumbling down the streets of new york I hear jazz
echoing up from manholes in the ground
subway musicians hoofing their daily brass ecstasies
and all is cool and calm and fine
like always

I think sometimes
of the great stories lost
to old basements,
floods,
and fires,
it makes me sad
until
I think also
of all the stories
not yet made,
in young minds,
in full pens,
and on paper
not yet printed.

Learn to linger in the beauty of life,
every moment, every sunset, every smile—
soak in the magnificence
of everything that is already—
and you will find
what you’ve been searching for.

“Leisure” by W. H. Davies
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
xx Atticus
Don’t give up now,
chances are
your best kiss
your hardest laugh
and your greatest day
are still yet to come.

"Never Go By The Book" By Christopher Poindexter
never
go by the book.
they will want
you to,
but you mustn't.
if the lust
is too strong,
tear one page
from a hundred books
and make you
own way.
there is no formula
for life,
no equation
on how to be
a human being.
find your freedom
and breathe there.
drink there.
love there.
