What is it we look for?
                         Truth?
Does truth live there- seeping in
like pollution, soot and smoke and asbestos
     from the policy-makers
     the PA systems- the voice of the people
infects poets' brains like a terrible, beautiful cancer
      so what they have written and said-
       -despite intention- says something
          that is more than the weight of it's letters

More to who? To the world, to the word--
not to the one
to the one, it means more to mean
                   just what it says-
the silence between does not cry foul
   to the great wide sky
but whisper breathy words that aren't,
       in frozen green.

I hate analyzing poetry in class: we seem to tear it apart and not find much but the presuppositions and opinions of the loudest voices. Who says that's what it all means?
