“Today we challenge you to write a poem that obliquely explains why you are a poet and not some other kind of artist – or, if you think of yourself as more of a musician or painter (or school bus driver or scuba diver or expert on medieval Maltese banking) – explain why you are that and not something else!”
So here's one reason I am a poet.
I think I could do something with that
When my concussion gives me
truth bush and taste poodle,
a long rain in the wrong lane…
When food poisoned, I think
in California I bet you can pay
to have this experience on a retreat…
When the wind sends snow crystals
scintisparking off the brown poplar branch…
