Amuse. At some level does a poem amuse?

A sense? Memory? Does this take away from the serious?


Take, for instance, the toasted cheese sandwich w/tomato --- amuses and is deeply serious.

Dialect of light & dark. Perhaps, it's the poet who amuses.

    Desert towns
    Tumbling heroes
    Tied up horses and the hammers
    that pounded their shoes

    New England summers in a field
    of optimistic corn

    She amuses herself in the screened in porch
    The chilled consomme in a bowl
    near the crackers
