Who can ever forget
listening to the wind go by
counting its money
and throwing it away?
These lines come from "Wind Song" by Carl Sandburg (1878-1967), found in The Complete Poems of Carl Sandburg (Houghton Mifflin, 2003). An alert to this poem of childhood dreaming was sent to me by mathematician-poet Robert Gethner whose poem "The Universal Language" was featured on July 11.
