John Ciardi's Ways And Means, 1959

His 
How does a poem mean? 

Means asking it, needing 
Answers our ears clearly

Never expected 
To hear, that small bit 

Of time-traveling 
Universal matter making 

Its uncharted way 
Here, now piercing even 

The astounded ears 
Of the die-hard 

Hard-of-hearing.
