Kurt Vonnegut


Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?'

Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand

- Kurt Vonnegut

One of Kurt Vonnegut's fewly published poems appeared in Cat's Cradle (1963). The poem was from "Bokonon" who was the founder of the Bokononist religion in the book.

Kurt Vonnegut seems like a really good writer. I see why Nick loves him so much. Hahaha. Maybe I'll steal one of his books from my dad.
