You don't help people in your poems. I've been trying to help people all my life - that's my trouble
Forgive me if I sleep until I wake up.
O.K. I'm running out of appetite. Let this swirl- a bit like Crab Nebula- do for now.
A poem is energy transferred from where the poet got it (he will have some several causations), by way of the poem itself to, all the way over to, the reader.
All that matters is that the thing be the thing of the thing.
The poem, for me, is simply the first sound realized in the modality of being.
