There can be no society without poetry, but society can never be realized as poetry, it is never poetic. Sometimes the two terms seek to break apart. They cannot.

It is a wonder how time passes by;
One second to the next, none the same.
This moment captured by the spark in your eye.
Alas, you have set my heart aflame.
