Hat tip again to Andrew Sullivan at The Dish for sharing the poetry of Lucille Clifton (well actually his poetry editor, Alice Quinn). This particular poem, I really like. It is entitled, The Making of Poems:
the reason why I do it
though I fail and fail
in the giving of true names
is I am Adam and his mother
and these failures are my job.
