Poetry is not efficient. If you want to
learn how to cook a lobster, it's
probably best not to look to poetry.
But if you want to see the word lobster
in all its reactant oddity, its pied
beauty, as if for the first time, go to
poetry. And if you want to know what
it's like to be that lobster in the pot,
that's in poetry too.
