poem a day

Gonna start reading at least one poem a day 
Today its simon Armitage 
Poverty.  Bleak and powerful. Attesting imagery of poverty as a companion one tries to shrug off. 

And I am very bothered when I think... quite a disturbing poem about how the persona hurt the girl he liked at secondary school in the chem lab. Scissors in bunsen burner that branded her. And then this as a way of saying I'd like to marry you! Like marriage is fire branding? 
Or that I hurt the ones I love? 
Urgh
