(New to) Great Regulars: Whereas a song, you know,

you've got a tempo. You know, you've got something that is moving swiftly. You can't stop it, you know? And it's designed to move swiftly from, you know, mouth to mouth, heart to heart, where a poem really speaks to something that has no time and that is--it's a completely different perception. [--Leonard Cohen]

from PBS: Newshour: Songwriter Leonard Cohen Discusses Fame, Poetry and Getting Older
