Poets, Poems, and Questions

When you read a poem
Do you read it through?
Or do you squish it in your mind
Like gum on your shoe?

Can you actually feel 
What the poet is writing?
Or do you act as if
The poet didn't take so long typing?

When you write a poem
Do you truly pour your heart out?
Or do you simply record a thought
And proceed to go about?

Can you actually enjoy 
Endless streams of words?
Or do you let them fly away
Like some growing baby birds?
