Is against gravity. He
Then went further, suggesting
Poetry’s transportation
To another place, away
From the moment, away from
Our circumstances, soft praise
Common for storytelling,
Sometimes any kind of text.
Let’s get back to gravity.
Let’s pretend he hadn’t meant
Some escapist fantasy.
Let’s take him literally.
Poetry doesn’t escape
From gravity. Poetry
Remains against gravity
On principle, which would be
Brave and helpless. Poetry.
