As well try to understand the sun, Perrin. It simply is, and is not to be understood. You cannot live without it, but it exacts a price. So with women.

Poetism Commentary: "Poetisms"
The poem in question: Poetisms
The final poem of July 9, 1996, Poetisms is by far my favorite. It is very simple, relatively brief, and perfectly sums up my feelings on poetry. I don’t know that there is much else to say about it. As I have mentioned before, if I ever have a book of poems published, I want to to be called "Poetisms."
When I read this poem, it also reminds me of the Simon & Garfunkel song "The Dangling Conversation," and I have the feeling that the song was on my mind when I wrote this poem down. It is a beautiful song.
This is evidently going to be a short commentary, as I have nothing more to say.
