"The Simple Truth" by Philip Levine

I received several books of poetry for Christmas, one of which was The Simple Truth by Philip Levine, given to me by the wonderful Amanda Carver. I think the title poem is a great way to tie up this year. You can find it on Plagiarist.com. Despite the site's name, it really is the actual poem and it really is by Levine. If, for some reason, you don't "get" the poem, Plagiarist.com would be happy to take 20 bucks from you to explain it. And if you need that, God help you. Just ask me. I'll do it for five.

Happy New Year!
