Try looking at it this way:
Poetry's in Existence
Like water in the ocean!
Today's CHRONICLE's a poem.
So is a fire engine going by,
A good cup of coffee,
A burned-out streetlight,
The supermarket checker's greeting,
An aquarium full of fish,
An old person facing the wall, alone.
Ah, but is anyone really qualified
To transcribe all these poems?
Where is the scribe
Who has dissolved himself
Entirely into his ink?
