Yes, the happy accident of filth. You're absolutely right, think, to cast a suspicious eye to the "capital-L love stuff." Likewise, I would suggest, the capital-S spiritual stuff, the capital-P political stuff, the capital-M _meaningful_ stuff. The least interesting of all poetries is the didactic. Just as the least interesting sort of kiss is the front-on lip-lock (tho, I suppose, it all really does depend on the lips in question).

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
