Definition of a Thing: I
(For Chnweizu et al)
1
can you truly define a thing
can you truly convey a thing
everything is a poem
every poem is a thing:
o, poesy is being!
2
is easy to define a poem
so hard to convey a poem
everything is a thing
and a thing is a poem:
o, poesy is being!
3
how oft the critics criticise a poem
can they convey the thinghood of a poem
tho’ background purpose origin shown
to be experienced stays a poem:
o, poesy is being!
4
the critic lays some steps to a poem
ladder forgotten by the grip on a poem
a poem is an organism
an organism is a poem:
o, poesy is being!
