I’ve rarely related to a character more than I related to Jon during this exchange 😂🤦
Poetry goes right over my head. It’s too abstract for me, usually, proooooobably because I’m autistic. I prefer prose that is point blank and slaps me in the face with its meaning.
I also used to think all or most poetry was bad, until I relaxed and realized that 1) there is a broader expanse of poetry out there than the stuff I’d been exposed to that I didn’t like, 2) everyone’s artistic expression is different and that’s a good thing! And 3) not everything is meant for me to understand. As long as the poet enjoys it and feels like they’ve expressed themself, that’s all that really matters. Me getting it doesn’t matter at all, because it simply isn’t meant for me.
So anyway, instance #5,387 in which I related to Jon The Archivist Sims. 😂
