John Ashbery

I decided to have a look at some of the posts that were left in draft form, and there were hundreds of them. Among them this poem:

...you are meant to be alone at least part of the time
You must be in order to work and yet it always seems so unnatural
As though seeing people were intrinsic to life which it just might be
And then somehow the loneliness is more real and more human
You know not just the scarecrow but the whole landscape
And the crows peacefully pecking where the harrow has passed.

(via Here Comes Everybody)
