Poetry is like Deep Thoughts

Kathleen Rooney, in the New York Times Magazine, says that modern poetry-- the kind her students like, anyway--is like Jack Handey's "Deep Thoughts":
"And Now, Deep Thoughts About ‘Deep Thoughts’"

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.  
--Jack Handey
