I love poetry, as much as I love music. I love it in the same way, purely visceral: I ignore the form in favour of getting naked and rolling around in the language.
And unlike music, if asked to pick my favourite poem ever written - as in, the one I resonate to, echo along with, no matter what else - I pick the same one every time, without hesitation. It's Since There's No Help.

Shake hands forever, cancel all our vows...
Christ. He kills me.
