CORPSE AND BEANS, OR WHAT IS POETRY?


Bill Knott

CORPSE AND BEANS, OR
WHAT IS POETRY?

I sit at my table and sometimes the question of poetry crosses my mind
For example
                     The man who one night ate a big plate of beans
Then got tired
                        Of everything and killed himself
Next day at the burial
Everyone said, What's that noise?

Was it poetry?
