Bowing Down to Phillips

[inevitably_grey]

Now I ask, how can anyone write this good (?):

Bow Down by Carl Phillips

i.

As if he, too, could see the world, 
just in front of us, 
coming divided: those who step
routinely toward a dark that, mostly, 
has seemed avoidable;

those who let them--

World from which,
if for no other reason, then
out of pity, I should
look

I feel like that most of the time when I read literature :)...

I've spent about a week trying to understand how you connected the poem with how one view a work of literature.

Got back to it today and realised it was to my comment you said it to.

Braindead? *headdesk*

I had just hit the "post comment" button when I realised that you might think it was a comment on the poem *g*. Sorry about the confusion! :)
