As we've shown, Leonard Cohen has been keeping himself busyrecently. When he's not granting the lifelong wishes of his fans with quadruple-encore shows or releasing live albums of said shows, Cohen occupies himself by writing. The New Yorker recently published the latest product of his efforts, a poem entitled "A Street." Anyone who has read his novels, or, well, heard his music, knows that this is something to be excited about. Full text of the poem can be found at the link. [New Yorker via The Daily Swarm]
