Thinker
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
He sits on a stoop with his mind in a daze arm folded under his chin. Seems like he's somewhere lost in a maze and trapped far within. They call him the thinker I guess that's his name the only one that I know. Said he used his mind to inherit his great fame periodically put on a show. Never knew about him but what I've learned in school he is a work of art. I've always thought he sat on a stool not knowing where to start. Guess I was wrong and what it does mean its never too late to learn. Take what you're taught and what you have seen and make it your concern.
