Found: Great poem on the subway this morning

An Old Cracked Tune

My name is Solomon Levi,

the desert is my home,
my mother's breast was thorny,
and father I had none.

The sands whispered, Be separate,
the stones taught me, Be hard.
I dance, for the joy of surviving,
on the edge of the road.

-Stanley Kunitz
