ECCENTRIC EXCITEMENT

I feel eccentric excitement
When I hear Literature
As if I dine with Zeus or Aphrodite
As I delight in poetry.

I feel eccentric excitement
When I read Literature
As if I run in poetic rhythms
As I internalize Villa or Cumming.

I feel eccentric excitement
When I recall Literature
As I witness the Fall of Troy
As I vividly see supernatural scenes.

I feel eccentric excitement
When I say Literature
As if the rising action unfolds
As my eyes curse the cold climax.

I feel eccentric excitement
When I discuss Literature
As if the day never ends
As I recast the wonders with words.
