"Poetry comes at things through particulars, by means of images, and it doesn't deal so easily with generalities. Its mode is to cherish without limit. You could say it is idolatrous art. Some poems, the great poems, are true to their specific situations deep down, but they also have a universal quality that lets them live again and again, even in apparently unrelated circumstances." -Galway Kinnell

Slogan on truck door Rolls in, out of bridge lights, flash Of reflection, dark.
very seductive verse... the mystery of the language play is very enticing, esp. the absence of image (slogan that we never actually read) vs. the presence of image (truck door which merely represents the vehicle itself that carries the image, the text). very nice.
