'if you could write one great poem, what would you want it to be about? (asked of four student poets at the illinois schools for the deaf & visually impaired),' robert pinsky

fire: because it is quick, & can destroy.
music: place where anger has its place.
romantic love--the cold or stupid ask why.
sign: that it is a language, full of grace.

that it is visible, invisible, dark & clear,
that it is loud & noiseless & is contained
inside a body & explodes in air
out of a body to conquer from the mind.
