Commentary
I know this poem is hard to understand. Let me try to explain… or at least sympathize with the reader’s confusion.
For a short time, I had a wonderful counselor who had me bring poems to our sessions as a basis for discussion. This poem, prompted by a literal book, would be an interesting one to discuss. I intentionally injected words suggesting conflict. Do you see them?
For what it’s worth, I do actually like books with relaxed binding. And such a book was actually the inspiration for this poem!
