IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT THINKING OF POETRY

It is possible to live without thinking of poetry-
It is possible to let the day go by
Without having even one single line in mind-
It is possible to live without feeling there is a poetic bone in one’s body-
Nothing
Flat
No feeling
No literature
None of this stuff
No poetry
And still living
Like many people do
Perhaps most-
It is possible
Isn’t it?
