When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

out of your pajamas
that when questioned, some minds won't think
of necks.

A ritual

finding souvenirs, shells and shores
empty.
