Indeed. If you were to ask a poetry naive person to judge which of the following is part of a poem, I think that the answer is pretty obvious: (1) Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker (2) I should have been a pair of of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
Speaking of flashbulb memories (which Mike was not) I can remember the emotional experience of reading (and re-reading and re-reading) "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by TS Eliot in junior high and being devastated by the bleakness of his picture of one potential life as one grows old. Luckily, forgetting did its job and I decided to age anyway.
