for some people making word is part of the sex thing. you can say emblematic words 'at' the person you're with -- but, this is naive... i'm forgetting that you can imagine you're with someone and make words with the imaginary person...'
or, maybe you might make transactional noises, cooing.
i tend to be very much listening and feeling, and i'm probably not very good at casual sex for that reason. if i do get involved then i'm extremely physical, but still don't do words. i don't know what that means, unless it's that i'm into pheeling as a language, and i'm so hyper into language.
i'm a lamer.
probably, you weren't really into the topic anyway, so i feel a little foolish talking about talking when you're just sitting there laughing at me. is 'laugh' a sex thing for you?

i imagine that skipping on the waves of the dialog gets your feet wet and cools your ardor, and that your ardor is in hock to something which isn't poetry but which works on you the way words work on me. i respect that.

I would hate to live in a world where everyone was thinking about poetry in the same ways that you are thinking about poetry. Not because I find your thoughts all that disagreeable, or wrong. Just that, I think there'd be alot of the same thing going on, and I like the variety. I think you're set in your ways, which is cool. But I think you want everyone else to be set in your ways too.

whoever understands the poem or the intention of the poet best will end up reading it better.

I guess it depends on the writer or poet, and how much they appreciate poetry.
Also, as Trochee says, whoever understands the poem best will get more from it...
for instance a witty poem about binmen may appeal to a bin man more than a great poet, no matter how good it is
