This Is The Urgency: Live!

People Like Definite Decisions, / Tidy Answers, All The Little Ravelings / Snipped Off, The Lint Removed, They / Hop Happily Among Their Roughs / Calling What They Can't Clutch Insanity / Or Saintliness.

What Shall I Give My Children? Who Are Poor, / Who Are Adjudged The Leastwise Of The Land...

Do Not Be Afraid Of No, Who Has So Far, So Very Far To Go.

The Poetry Is Myself.

A Poem Doesn't Do Everything For You. You Are Supposed To Go On With Your Thinking. You Are Supposed To Enrich The Other Person's Poem With Your Extensions, Your Uniquely Personal Understandings, Thus Making The Poem Serve You.
