Equivocation. Do poems mean to mislead?

Or is it inherent in each poet to mislead and/or is the poet inherently an ambivalent creature?
Words aren't neutral, and I don't subscribe to neutral colors. Weigh in on this, please.


In culinary matters, I've heard it said that tofu is a major cause of equivocation. Tofu turkey, tofu chicken, tofu beef. Come to think of it, haven't encountered tofu oysters. Have you? No doubt, a good thing.

  1. No middle ground in the arena of tears
    so down the dipper in sight of the ark
    what fate the old boat cannot predict
    dawdling in the noonday sun--
    so the lad skips his figures
    and takes off to swim
    and place his pay on a salty choice--
    one on the tawny dawg, one
    on his mistress
