Okay...I understand your view of the poem...but my thesis wasn't that complicated. Of course, I could pick any poem and say that it's about life...but...I believe the relations between life and "Tract" are numerous. And...I'm not in an Ivy League School, I'm a senior in high school.

He is trying to tell poets to keep it simple with their works. Instead of making things complicated beyond belief (aka "Waste Land") Williams wants writers to tell it like it is, keep it simple, stupid. Make poetry work for everyone instead of those with a degree from an Ivy League school.

Is this a good thesis for this poem?
"Tract" is a metaphorical idiom reflecting the needed simplicity in life.
