Attending a Poetry Reading

Nobody understood it
really
understood
what it
was
really all about
though some of us
had heard it
once or twice before
and one of us
had even read it
several times
but still it was the fact
that nobody
understood it
and after
when I pressed her
pinned her
to the bar
she gave forth
that it
was all a stream
of consciousness
and that
we ought to have known
that
what went unsaid
was meant
and was indeed
more than implied
since
some of you are poets
too
or so I've heard
she said
