Plain Confused

"The Poet," by Tom Wayman puzzled me significantly. In the title I first thought that it might be about the poet himself, but has a read there is no way this person could write this. I asked myself if a poet was having difficulties writing something and this is what they saw. Someone losing there position on worksheet or page in a textbook? Is it someone who has just many disabilities and their describing them? To me it was a little harsh that someone wrote flat out that they don't understand what the hear or read. It is rather sad someone can't handle a yes or no question. Into the second stanza it reminded me of someone who has Alzheimer's with a difficult memory. It could be an old person with this disability, then i ask myself what if it is a small child. Although most children can tell a story from a picture. "May recognize a word one day and not the next," that questioned my whole thought on the poem. I was rather anger at it, because I couldn't grasp the concept of what this person was trying to say. What message is he trying to obtain. I jump back and forth from line to line, reading out loud, going back and forth on who is this relating to? I am just so confused. It is trying to make a point, but what point? It could be talking about a whole institution of people maybe with learning disabilities? Maybe even a nursing home with patients who are just not the same as they used to be. Im really just so lost.
