Charles Bernstein(b. 1950)
why we ask you not to touch
H u m a n emotions and cognition
leave a projective film over the p o e m s
making them difficult to perceive.
C a r e f u l readers maintain a m e a s u r e d
distance f r o m the works in order
to allow distortion-free c o m p r e h e n s i o n
and to avoid d a m a g i n g the meaning.
