With poetry you can travel faster, lighter
than with learned history. Just open a book
and you can be in Ur, four thousand
years and more erased, praising goddess
Inanna; flick open another one, you are
a scholar refugee among the lakes
and rivers of southern China twelve
thousand years ago. Or, a Roman pining
after a famous beauty while around
their Republic lurches towards storm.
With poetry you can travel fast,
you can travel far, the ticket
is but opening a book.
