This page ranks poetry among the arts and insists that it is dangerous because its masters drive a person toward endurance, rejection, and the grave.
By comparing poetry to fighting, acting, music, and drawing, the poem makes art feel bodily rather than decorative. The handwritten additions sharpen acting as not caring 'About Anything' but oneself, while poetry's danger comes from a commitment that keeps pushing toward the grave.

'OF Poetry' is an ars poetica that arms its subject from the first line: 'Like a gun,, you can keep it / to yourself, or spread it / around'. It places poetry among the bodily arts - 'Poetry and dance / are made by what the body does and has done' - and skewers acting as self-absorption, 'all about not caring a god damn / About Anything ... but yourself, the greatest art of all'. The poem's real claim is that poetry outranks even violence in peril: where 'Fighting, your have to quit', poetry has no such mercy, and 'The masters of poetry / you, encourage you / To go all the way to the grave'. This reading treats the typed body as reliable; the page is medium-confidence with some ambiguous handwritten marks that the scan review left out as unreliable, so the marginalia are not read into the meaning.
