Poetry

It's hard for me to understand
People who don't
Understand poetry

I think it's because
They live on Mars and
I live on Venus 

I think it's because
Equations are important to them
And facts
And figures
And sales reports
And surveys 

You see
For me, there are  not 
Facts or figures
There are  sunrises
And orange
And red
And a million shades
Of white and gray

For me, there is mystery and Grace
Not measurements and temperatures
How do you measure a kiss?
How do you quantify a dance?
How do you test a full moon?

It's hard for me to understand
People who don't 
Understand poetry
