I love this poem. Although Donald Justice can be considered a great "hippie" poet, instead of ranting on about LSD and LBJ, this poem really goes deep into questioning the poem itself. While reading numerous poems and practically falling asleep during Shakespeare's sonnets (I love Shakespeare, don't get me wrong), this poem really stood out and made me stop what I was doing, making everything seem un-important and meaningless compared to the message of the poem. But what do my words matter? It wasn't addressed to me anyway.

I didnt get this at first. But after me and my friends analyzed it in class, i kinda got it, but i still dont get the whole meaning of the poem. i looked up nostalgia and i got it that he's trying to say that the poem has no emotion no feeling, no nostalgia, but it does! it leaves you with the bittersweet wanting of the meaning of the poem, and then that makes you think it may have comfort in it too thats hidden away...
