I want my poetry...

...to be read solemnly from books
and spoken spiritedly in conversations.

...to be dissected in college classrooms
and magnetized to refrigerator doors.

...to be searched for in libraries
and stumbled across on friends' coffee tables.

...to create comfort
and unrest
as it rests on dressers
and runs through minds.
