A Poem
A Poem...
is everything you know and learned
and heard and saw, even those things that occurred before you could remember them. All these thoughts get boiled down to
fit onto the head of a pin where only a microscope can read them.
is a giant story told in itty-bitty words or drawn
on the wall of a cave or spray painted on a water tower or tacked up on the cork board next to the telephone so that you don’t forget.
is the emissions of a brain that needs to expand beyond
the boundaries of its skull and copulate with the molecules bouncing around in the constellations that then get too big to rejoin with the grey matter folded neatly that is mind.
