The Song Remains the Same -- But Do We?

When we write a poem, just what is different? Is our world different, or are we? Is there a difference? How do we know and relate to that difference, if any?

I guess this sounds like nonsense. Maybe it is. But I think it's worth examining: I've posted before on how the poem may affect society, and how the poet can be the vehicle. Which I think is why so many chase our talent, try to tame it or steal it or what have you.

What I'm asking now is, is the poem's effect reciprocal?
