Poem: Poetry Is Just Something That Happens To Other People

There’s not a whole lot you
need to know about this poem

and you might feel like you know
even less after reading it. And we

can share the blame for that if
you like. Which might be

quite nice. Or it might be
rather awkward. I’ll let you choose.

Which might be quite nice of me.
Or it might just continue the awkwardness.

I’ll let you decide which is the least
I can do. Beyond this poem. Of course.
