Liking a Poem
I doubt I am the first or last (or middle) to note this, but I feel the need for needless notion regardless.
Poetry, prose, writing, art, speech,communicationpeoplexistence are all subjective.
What I think, feel, prefer, receive, project can change any instance by forces far outside that of the text or symbols or pictures one offers.
Even if a piece could be objectively exemplary, it could miss me because of energy...lethargy...or me, needing to pee.
I can like a poem today and not like it tomorrow, but it would still have a like and be the same poem. I can not like a poem today, be in the correct state to like it tomorrow, but it won't have a like nor have changed.
Likes, a like, liking, are not devoid of meaning, but they can mean nothing about something and everything about...not anything.
