Interesting poem- have you read "On having no head" by Harding? I just wondered as this poem seems very zen to me.

unable to see poets wonder can he ever be “Me”?" Good lines. Hmm. Could you explain the title? ~Scott

Hi Scott,
Yes the title alludes to the usage of the third person.
I always feel poety should be written from personal experience, or at the very least the imagination of the first person.
Just a personal preference.

Did we ever do anything, or live our life through the eyes of another..

Anyone can write at a distance, is that because it hurts too much?

I also liked the angle you came from with this poem Steve, very well thought out...Keith.

Steve,
Another good poem. Is this one also about you and Rose?
Your friend,
