Question

The Meaning of Existence

Everything except language

knows the meaning of existence.

Trees, planets, rivers, time

know nothing else. They express it

moment by moment as the universe.

Even this fool of a body

lives it in part, and would

have full dignity within it

but for the ignorant freedom

of my talking mind.

can someone explain what the theme of the poem is and the techniques used?

Answer 1

The central idea is for you to do your homework by reading the poem and then thinking about it. You may need to read it five or six times before thinking kicks in.
