I never know if I like poetry. Although if I do, it’s poems like some of these, which feel like quick scribblings on scrap paper, like a mechanism for how Cope processes life. There are poems (as usual) about objectively (?) beautiful observations that I find incredibly boring like a “dragonfly
landing on the old white boat” but perhaps I’m still waiting to experience a “day” as being “so still.”
