Here you will find the Poem Lesson of poet Bill Knott
Our love has chosen its appropriate gesture Which when viewed in the midst of all the gestures It didn't choose seems almost insignificant. The gesture our love has chosen is appropriate We both agree not that we have any choice but Amidst all those others does seem insignificant. Is it incumbent on us thus to therefore obliterate All of the gestures except this insignificant one Chosen by our love for its own no doubt reasons. It is up to us to obliterate all other gestures Though they cluster round thick as presentations Of war and sacrifice in a gradeschool classroom. Use of our love's chosen gesture for the obliteration Of all those foreign gestures is forbidden however We must find something else to erase them with. Our love has chosen its appropriate gesture Which when viewed in the absence of all other gestures Seems to spell the opposite of insignificant.
