Rich wrote: what's with the joni mitchell quote?

It´s from Cactus Tree (1968):

She has brought them to her senses,
They have laughed inside her laughter;
Now, she rallies her defenses
For she fears that no one will ask her
For eternity
And she's so busy being free

Weisenburger says so on p. 264 and I have it on my website at
