Poem: "Consciousness," a poem shared on the Colbert show by Michael Pollan

since feeling is first 
who pays any attention to 
the syntax of things 
will never wholly kiss you; 

wholly to be a fool while 
Spring is in the world my blood approves, 
and kisses are a better fate than wisdom 

lady i swear by all flowers. 

Don’t cry 
—the best gesture of my brain 
is less than your eyelids’ flutter 
which says we are for each other: 

then laugh, leaning back in my arms 
for life’s not a paragraph 
 
And death i think is no parenthesis
