Most poets are doing something else you would rather not be involved with, like a stranger who suddenly starts talking to you--- and immediately you need to listen, as you need to determine quickly whether or not they are crazy. Most poetry is either crazy, which you don't like, or boring, which is even worse. Most poets bank on the fact that you like words, which you do. But most of them lecture. Oh God are you through? Most poets are just fooling around. The best ones have sense inside their sense, sound inside their sound.
