Which words, in your perception, reek of this literary arrogance? I just wonder because I see my poems as very accessible to readers of various backgrounds- my own working vocabulary is simple and my prose-y style, I think, doesn't leave the reader feeling lost enough to feel the need to search for some cryptic message. Even if there is a metaphorical level that is not obvious, it seems like this poem can stand alone as a travel story without full understanding of any literary intentions I had in writing it.
