What Poetry Does

Language is a frame 
for pictures of disagreement 
as it drifts toward accord.

It's the model 
not the make 
that makes a mind get mold-- 
living spores cannot regard 
castle wisdom wise.

Brick by brick it cannot stick
asphalt to the snow.

The word is word for language arts 
method's panic shame.

Look down and then do not look up 
that's how falling feels.

All in all it's all in all 
poetry in sum.
