The most interesting returns from writing a poem are the responses so far from what I was thinking while writing and editing it that it’s as if the English language carries with it sub-cultures of meaning, invisible to me like the baggage of bacteria we all carry in our bodies. Yet, on considering a response such as yours, I see how it could be sincere, and how the poem falls apart if understood in that way.
