Unknown or Nonexistent?

*
Poetry
The words waltz
behind my eyes
trot among my brain
cranking machine
pulling out
what it all means
*
Lately I've been writing a lot of poems.
Most short.
Sweet.
To the damned point.

But, I also have been reading a lot of poetry too. 

 Emily Dickinson

Jack Spicer
Jack Spicer


Robert Frost
Mostly the well known.
& that doesn't even cover everyone I've been reading.


& I just have been wondering lately...
WHAT
IS
THE
POINT
?
*
Why type these words?
Who reads them?
Who cares?
Does
anyone
even
think
about this complicating, mind blowing, stuff or am I just sitting here wasting
one
more
tick
tock
of my already busy schedule
to vent to an unknown audience?
