On Poetry

Talking about poetry is hard.
I don't always know what to say,
though I want to say everything.
Like how nothing will say "Hoagland"
to me, like Donkey Gospel, and how
I think the Dickman brothers are cool
and not just because they were in
Minority Report. But, sometimes, I say
dumb things. Here is a confession:
I thought Ezra Pound was a woman
until I was like 18 1/2. Okay.
There are many books out there.
There are many Wikipedia pages.
There are many online word things.
I hope one day I'll talk about poetry
and say something cool and people will go
WOAH.
