Absurdish
What is a poetry?
Is it a tree full of poets?
Not sure, but I know it's
Gotta be more than that
More proverbially fat
With some literary girth
Apt to give birth
To words and birds and
Herds of ideas
That run across a page
Perhaps even a stage
To make people do things
To act and be things
Make someone feel things
When one moves and sings
Based on abstract concepts
Strung together
Haphazard as ever
For the purposes of
Wills unknown
Or yet to be shown
I'll never be sure
What it's all for
But I'll still do it
Contribute to it
Put words on a page
For no wage
I feel it can't be a job
Such that it would rob
The task of its meaning
And its aim-less leaning
Because the aim should be less
Than clear at best
To allow that ambiguity
That precedes true ingenuity

Thank you Lewis. Some deep stuff there.
Would that be Old Walt up there?
