I think I'd like to drag u off into the woods & disabuse u of the notion of ur virginity long gone down the passages of time to our age; listen to me. I'd like to inform u that poetry is a technical art made of moving mental parts; here she comes saying no no no poetry is an emotional expression, an expression of emotion in a particular time & place, wailing, crying, confessing to ugly truths in the bright sunlight; poetry is more like an interplanetary machine I adjust to monitor signals from the unseen; no no no she shouts, poetry is my naked body! I beg to differ somewhat like a combination mirror-computer computating logical syllogisms & algorithms to compare & contrast metaphors like colors & sounds & shapes she says no no no & she weeps
