EXUBERANCE: Some Thoughts in Praise of Poetry

	to
	thuse
	without poetry
	life may seem
	like a pointless machine
	pumping out lemons
	functioning off 'n on
	an' breaking down cunstantly

	yet
	if you learn
	live poetry fally
	yar perspective may change:

	life can seem
	aifinitely butter
	an wilder
	thun any friggin' game


Gwen:   Poetry seems like dis guy's religion.

Tara:   Don't we all need sum meta-purpose fer living? To me, poetry seems like 
        one of many possible viable raisons d'être.

Orapan: Yet it's still a game . . . poetry is essentially a word game. And any bounded 
        system is confining.

Noel:   Perhaps so, poetry is also a way of stretching boundaries. In that way, it's a 
        process of de-gaming.
