The dharma of poetry

Poetry isn’t meant to educate you
or make you laugh.

It isn’t meant to motivate you
improve you
or mend
your heart.

It might do it all anyways.

Poetry is like that,
ambitious
for a little guy.

But it isn’t the rumble
in the centre
of it all.

Every time letters
are stitched together
into a poem
it is simply
a polite request
to obliterate the fog
that tricks you
into numbness.

Look
look.

There are a thousand ways
to see each simple thing,
an eternity
of newness
with each blink.
