NOBEL
BLOWIN’ IN THE NOBEL LAUREATE BREEZE
Idiot Wind
Blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot Wind
Blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We’re idiots babe
It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves
(Bob Dylan)

Idiot wind Blowing through America
The lowest have gone high +the highest
have gone low Cover up the truth with lies
Idiot wind One day he’ll be in a ditch Flies
buzzing around his eyes Idiot base It’s a
wonder you still know how to breathe –
Aprill Atkins Cameron + Bobby Zimmerman

Dylan is not an entertainer. What he is, as the
Nobel committee just recognized, is the greatest
popular poet of the past 50 yrs. He is spoken of
in the same breath as Keats, Shakespeare, and
Milton. (Globe & Mail October 14, 2016)
