Maybe if you read this poem
you won't feel so lonely anymore.
Maybe the words will wrap their syllables
around your skin. Maybe the rhythm
will reel you up from whatever
dark sea you've been drowning in.
Didn't work? Sorry. Try Shakespeare.

The title is taken from a book by the literary critic Harold Bloom.
