The Poem and its Discontents

I have heard
I should say
I have read
that poetry is a false category
and what we are really talking about
when we talk about poetry
is the Poem,
a certain Poem,
a capital P title
pitted against
all the other
sounds sentenced
fall down
the page
bound to
someone's
former spine
