A good poem makes me work too damn hard.
I have to listen as the words ping around
And off each other like steel balls in a pinball machine.
Then there’s the messages.
And their meanings
And what I must do about those meanings.
It’s tiring. I have to stop.
But that’s okay, because a good poem won’t let me go.
It’ll be there for some chunk of forever.
