Personification. Can a poem be free of personification?

Language poetry is an interesting term (as well as a vehicle for some mighty compelling & nifty work). Isn't all poetry a subset of language? Come to think of it, isn't language a subject of the personal, treading on the tips of personification? All resulting in a resounding probably.



All is itself and something other. Brings me to cabbage. What does the cabbage personify? And in the aggregate, cabbage soup?

    the wind picks up a ballast for miniature trinkets
    systems aglow
    a parting of words
    a ringer
    a source

    Double down the monarchy
    silly widgets (in the soup of)
    subtle digs
