How does a poem resonate with a listener?

Or is the question, why does a particular poem resonate with one listener and not the one beside her? Is the anatomy of the ear, universal? Is it a matter of physics -- sound/energy? Is it subject matter? Does this question matter?



Much the same can be said of food. Anatomy, physics, taste & the tasting. All matter.

  1. beautiful deer who dies by the road
    then they talk a lot at the town square

    all history takes a header

    when is the sonata more daring than an arrow
    and too much chilly wind blows down the bore

    her delight
    in stone be inscribed

    all ignore it
    all but me
