What we want...............................

In a poem
people want
something fancy,

but even more
they want something
inexplicable
made plain,

easy to swallow -
not unlike a suddenly
harmonic passage

in an otherwise
difficult and sometimes dissonant
symphony -

even if it is only
for the moment
of hearing it.

-Mary Oliver
