a poem is a great place
to rest your eyes
as your mind
wanders.
the words and sounds
are background
music
as you solve life’s problems.
what was the rhyme scheme?
what were the symbols, the hidden
meanings
in the repetitions?
who knows? what
was the poem even about?
who cares?

Sometimes while I'm reading a poem, I'll zone out almost in a state of meditation. That reflective state, in my opinion, can sometimes be just as important as reading a great poem. Just don't do this while you're reading one of my poems.
