What a good poem does

What a good poem does 

is make you feel 

alive -

reminds you 

but not in your head

in your body

how it feels

to be alive -

because we die 

a bit 

every day 

and barely notice

we work

and barely notice

we eat 

and barely notice

we talk

and barely notice

make love

and barely notice;

a good poem

like a laser pointer

helps you 

notice.
