12 | poetry | ||
13 | here | ||
14 | is | ||
15 | the | ||
16 | problem | ||
17 | life | ||
18 | is | ||
19 | very | ||
20 | big | ||

23 | human | ||
24 | beings | ||

26 | neither | ||
27 | we | ||
28 | are | ||
29 | small | ||
30 | simple | ||
31 | beings | ||
32 | that | ||
33 | don't | ||
34 | want | ||
35 | to | ||
36 | know | ||
37 | all | ||
38 | of | ||

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

225 | delicious | ||
226 | soup | ||
227 | out | ||
228 | of | ||
229 | it | ||
230 | to | ||

235 | decompress | ||
236 | the | ||
237 | poem | ||
238 | into | ||
239 | an | ||
240 | emotion | ||
241 | or | ||
242 | life | ||
243 | requires | ||

249 | good | ||
250 | reader | ||
251 | will | ||

253 | this | ||
254 | brainpower | ||

263 | this | ||
264 | means | ||

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