There is almost no doubt:
Poets, both alive and dead,
seem to be more talked about
than to really be read...

In all my verses, I confess
(as you've already seen),
I always say a little less,
than I do really mean!

You can't embrace
an empty space -
it's nonsense, I would say.
That's why today
(if it's OK)
I'm hugging all my friends!
