15 | the | ||

17 | life | ||
18 | is | ||
19 | very | ||

31 | beings | ||
32 | that | ||
33 | do | ||
34 | not | ||
35 | want | ||

55 | the | ||
56 | hours | ||
57 | of | ||
58 | every | ||
59 | day | ||
60 | we | ||
61 | much | ||
62 | prefer | ||
63 | knowing | ||
64 | only | ||
65 | that | ||
66 | which | ||
67 | is | ||
68 | just | ||
69 | in | ||
70 | front | ||
71 | of | ||
72 | our | ||
73 | faces | ||
74 | staring | ||
75 | us | ||
76 | back | ||
77 | with | ||
78 | a | ||
79 | look | ||
80 | of | ||
81 | utter | ||
82 | contempt | ||
83 | this | ||
84 | is | ||
85 | why | ||
86 | many | ||
87 | people | ||
88 | are | ||
89 | depressed | ||
90 | poetry | ||
91 | is | ||
92 | an | ||
93 | attempt | ||
94 | made | ||
95 | by | ||
96 | some | ||
97 | to | ||
98 | open | ||
99 | up | ||
100 | our | ||
101 | field | ||
102 | of | ||
103 | view | ||
104 | to | ||
105 | maybe | ||
106 | check | ||
107 | on | ||
108 | something | ||
109 | else | ||
110 | that | ||
111 | is | ||
112 | not | ||
113 | staring | ||
114 | us | ||
115 | in | ||
116 | the | ||
117 | face | ||
118 | so | ||
119 | contemptibly | ||
120 | maybe | ||
121 | something | ||
122 | else | ||
123 | is | ||
124 | smiling | ||
125 | at | ||
126 | us | ||
127 | we | ||
128 | think | ||
129 | so | ||
130 | we | ||
131 | write | ||
132 | poetry | ||
133 | to | ||
134 | force | ||
135 | ourselves | ||
136 | to | ||
137 | look | ||
138 | away | ||
139 | from | ||
140 | the | ||
141 | mirror | ||
142 | of | ||
143 | our | ||
144 | existence | ||
145 | to | ||
146 | see | ||
147 | something | ||
148 | else | ||
149 | this | ||
150 | is | ||
151 | generally | ||
152 | painful | ||
153 | to | ||
154 | make | ||
155 | it | ||
156 | less | ||
157 | painful | ||
158 | poetry | ||
159 | compresses | ||
160 | reality | ||
161 | a | ||
162 | lot | ||
163 | to | ||
164 | make | ||
165 | it | ||
166 | more | ||
167 | consumable | ||
168 | it | ||
169 | takes | ||
170 | life | ||
171 | that | ||
172 | seawater | ||
173 | and | ||
174 | boils | ||
175 | it | ||
176 | down | ||
177 | and | ||
178 | boils | ||
179 | it | ||
180 | down | ||
181 | until | ||
182 | only | ||
183 | the | ||
184 | salt | ||
185 | remains | ||
186 | the | ||
187 | important | ||
188 | parts | ||
189 | that | ||
190 | we | ||
191 | can | ||
192 | focus | ||

194 | and | ||
195 | make | ||
196 | some | ||

227 | delicious | ||
228 | soup | ||
229 | out | ||

237 | decompress | ||
238 | the | ||
239 | poem | ||
240 | into | ||
241 | an | ||
242 | emotion | ||

244 | life | ||
245 | requires | ||
246 | a | ||
247 | lot | ||

249 | brainpower | ||
250 | a | ||
251 | good | ||
252 | reader | ||
253 | will | ||
254 | have | ||
255 | this | ||

265 | this | ||
266 | means | ||

269 | poem | ||
270 | should | ||
271 | be | ||
272 | self-extracting | ||
273 | it | ||
274 | should | ||
275 | be | ||
276 | a | ||
277 | rare | ||
278 | vanilla | ||
279 | in | ||
280 | the | ||
281 | bottle | ||
282 | waiting | ||
283 | only | ||
284 | for | ||
285 | someone | ||
286 | to | ||
287 | open | ||
288 | it | ||
289 | and | ||
290 | sniff | ||
291 | it | ||
292 | and | ||
293 | suddenly | ||
294 | there | ||
295 | they | ||
296 | are | ||
297 | in | ||
298 | the | ||
299 | orchid | ||
300 | that | ||
301 | vanilla | ||
302 | came | ||
303 | from | ||
304 | in | ||
305 | the | ||
306 | tropical | ||
307 | land | ||
308 | where | ||
309 | it | ||
310 | grew | ||
311 | next | ||
312 | to | ||
313 | its | ||
314 | brothers | ||
315 | and | ||
316 | sister | ||
317 | vanilla | ||
318 | plants | ||
319 | they | ||
320 | feel | ||
321 | the | ||
322 | pain | ||
323 | of | ||
324 | having | ||
325 | their | ||
326 | children | ||
327 | taken | ||
328 | from | ||
329 | them | ||
330 | a | ||
331 | good | ||
332 | poem | ||
333 | leaves | ||
334 | a | ||
335 | feeling | ||
336 | of | ||
337 | loss | ||
338 | and | ||
339 | of | ||
340 | intense | ||
341 | beauty | ||
342 | the | ||
343 | reader | ||
344 | does | ||
345 | nothing | ||
346 | to | ||
347 | achieve | ||
348 | this | ||
349 | they | ||
350 | are | ||
351 | merely | ||
352 | the | ||
353 | receptacle | ||
354 | of | ||
355 | the | ||
356 | feeling | ||
357 | that | ||
358 | the | ||
359 | poem | ||
360 | forces | ||
361 | onto | ||
362 | them | ||
363 | in | ||
364 | a | ||
365 | way | ||
366 | poetry | ||
367 | is | ||
368 | a | ||
369 | crime | ||
370 | but | ||
371 | it | ||
372 | is | ||
373 | the | ||
374 | most | ||
375 | beautiful | ||
376 | crime | ||
377 | on | ||
378 | this | ||
