I Will Never Title a Poem After Its First Line

I will never title a poem after its first line
As I drive down the road
listening to a bland reader
giving voice to
Walt Whitman's
"Leaves of Grass,"

"To the Garden the World"
To the garden the world

"From Pent-Up Aching Rivers"
From pent-up aching rivers

For some reason this just annoys me
for some reason this just annoys me

thus

I will never title a poem after its first line

Mind you

There is power
in repeating the word
there is power in
repeating the word
there is power
in repeating
the word

But to come out of the chute with it
just annoys me

Then again,
it could just be
the annoying voice of the reader
who gives life
(somewhat)
to the words
of this great writer
whose subject matter
you would think
would have gotten him murdered
considering the times he had written it in.

Still,

I will never title a poem after its first line.
