Finds

One way to love almost
Any poem, any kind
Of phrasing—on the page,

In your ear, in your mouth,
In your hands, in the air—
Is to bite down, hang on,

Live with it, just to keep
Reciting, reciting
It over and over,

No matter what it is—
Doggerel, rebellion,
Beaux arts, hymn, graffiti—

Since, in recitation,
You can search for more poems
In each one of those words.
