POEMS 

I think what writing does most for me, rather than necessarily being a palliative or an avenue for joy, is act as a proof of concept: the very existence of a poem, especially a weird one that is hard to paraphrase or explain, is evidence for Hamlet’s claim about there being “more things” out there than we might otherwise have dreamt of.
