Anne Carson

Reading Anne Carson, reading Anne Carson
always feels like I'm doing
what I'm meant to be doing
the work I'm meant to be doing
the work that comes in "Oh!"s
like "Oh"
like I get this
which is to say exactly
that I don't get this
but I'm reading this
thank you Anne Carson
I'm reading this and
I'm doing good work
snatched in fevered snatches
the work I'm meant to be doing
getting and not getting this
