WHAT CAN A GREAT POEM DO?

It can enlighten.
It can terrify.
It can make you see ordinary objects that you pass by daily in an entirely different way.
It can exalt.
It can remind you of everything you already know, but forget on a daily basis.
It can shake you.
It can transform you.
It can make you stop.
It can demand you begin.
It can make you say yes.
It can send a loud NO! screaming through the labyrinths of your soul.

For a poem that does all of the above, watch this film. Not coincidentally, it was written by my favorite poet.

My good friend watches storm stories all the time. She seriously gets so engrossed by it, right after she gets home from work that I could be talking about the most important thing, then change the subject to kundalini get women now how to attract girls seduce women and she would not even know that I changed the topic. Man, that irritates me sometimes. Just thought I would write about it her
