An acclaimed poet twittered
a memo not to himself
but to poets
and that
memo
had a
number
it was #14
and fourteen read
“Difficult” does not necessarily mean “Deep”.
That tweet somehow spoke to me
even though I had
never asked
for it
That’s
why I’ve
got to answer it
with a sort of question
Yes, professor
I have to agree with your fourteen
‘cause I myself found it a little difficult
to take your order and your lore
did not feel deep
at first sight
But even though I cannot capitalize
difficult
deep
inside
I do agree
that difficult
is no necessity
for the whisper or rumble
to cross all protective plating
around our adaptations to insanity
and resonate where
simple sincerity
glows
on
Wondering about deep in there out there and somewhat somewhere
between blown up emotions quartered thoughts and pressing silence
I find my guts long enough to foretell a connection
and the birds circling above press for a question
That is why I have to ask you about opacity
and where denseness lies
in your charting
of the deep
