Wisława Szymborska - Some Like Poetry. . .

Some -
Meaning, not everyone.
Not even a majority of people, rather a minority. Not counting schools, where you have to,
and poets themselves.
People like this are maybe two out of a thousand.

Like -
But chicken noodle soup is also liked.
So are compliments and the color blue,
As is an old scarf
As is standing one’s ground
And petting a dog.

Poetry -
Only, what exactly is poetry.
No single, wobbly answer
has been given to that question.
And I don’t know and don’t know, and hang on to it like a grip handle.
