Charles Bernstein is an American poet, theorist, editor and literary scholar. His poems are very thought provoking; I can spend hours relishing in thought over one. Here are two of my favorites. They are from his book Girly Man. I recommend adding to your collection.

& what I saw is what I said
But neither seen nor spoke
Is what I think I thought

& every house has a stove
& every stove has a pot
& every pot has a lid
& every lid has a handle
& every handle has a stem
& every stem has an edge
& every edge gas a lining
& every lining has a margin
& every margin has a slit
& every slit has a slope
& every slope has a sum
& every sum has a factor
& every factor has a face
& every face has a thought
& every thought has a trap
& every trap has a door
& every door has a frame
& every frame has a roof
& every roof has a house
& every house has a lake
