If you want to feel
As the poet feels,
Don't hold her hand;
Pick up his pen.
If you want to hear
A poet speak,
Don't listen to him;
Read her lips.
If you want to see
As the poet sees,
Don't look to his eyes,
But see with her's.
To smell like a poet,
Splash in the rain,
Dance dry in the sun;
Follow your nose.
But get an inkling
In your mind,
Deaf, mute or blind;
Find your center,
Sit with it.
I oftimes get a sense of it.
