His poem was touching, makes you feel different ways about the poem.

DEAR BILLY COLLINS
Where’s the one
where you crawl under skin
pierce the bad man’s heart
get dirty with the homeless
save the world from annihilation?
You waterski and wave,
dropp a mouse and feel for a switch,
press an ear and see the light.
Superman, yes!
Or is it Clark Kent?
I see you working at the Planet
reclined in your favorite chair
more powerful than a locomotive.
Feel you forming your next word,
bending steal with bare hands.
But, where’s the one that speaks
of pain, of fear, of vice and sin?
I want to be your neighbor on Lois Lane
lined with elm trees and picket fence.
Very truly yours, Bob Beers
(Sorry, the system insists on placing an extra p in drop.)

Just discovered Billy Collins today! He himself holds up an idea like a multifaceted crystal and as it rotates he translates the light into such evocative and accessable poetry. Wonderful.

...tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
Literary analysis in a nutshell!

We'd like to think every poem has this profound, deep rooted meaning. We tend to analyze and analyze until we (in many cases) over analyze. Maybe the meanings are closer to the surface than we think?
