The problem is, with a poem like this, once you've spent enough time wondering about it, and finding no evidence that there is anything more, you end up judging the poem harshly.<br /><br />It's like wondering from afar if someone is attractive, then shining bright lights on their face and using a magnifying glass. If, by the end of it, you realize they are not, you probably will have seen so many of their flaws that it will be hard for you to think that they are even average.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-63906449979267641722007-03-27T14:29:00.000-07:002007-03-27T14:29:00.000-07:00I laughed.I laughed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
