Poems that can't be made better by using more than three words

I think you need to look at the map

yeah, i probably should, but i'm already kinda bored of this game now you've given the key. it's like watching a magician flying about on stage, once you realise he's on wires the specifics of the mechanics are incidental; and, this is precisely why a poem with one obscure cryptic meaning has little value beyond its own self contained meaning: because, like beckett said of his own work, once it is definitively explained one has no more use for it. it was just a distraction all along, like a crossword puzzle, instead of making you think it actually stops you from thinking [deleuze].
