Out of the thousands
who are known,
or who want to be known
as poets,
maybe one or two
are genuine
and the rest are fakes,
hanging around the sacred precincts
trying to look like the real thing.
Needless to say
I am one of the fakes
and this is my story.
#leonard cohen #apologetically unsourced pictures #the first one is isle of wight 1970 #second one is chelsea hotel-related #third one is from norway in 1985 via the official website #fourth one is publicity but apparently we don't credit photographers in newspapers now?? #fifth one is either fan-taken or (i strongly suspect) capped from live in london #adventures in elementary photosets with nocrimeinthewasteland
