The turn of this poem punched me in the face, and that's what I like about poetry; I wait to be knocked out cold.
I love it because I'm reading this list and going "uh huh, yeah, okay these are things that X can be," and the listing makes me think I'm not going to be so satisfied with the end, but then I find myself moved by it.
This is the kind of poetry I seek to read.
