~do You Know What I Mean~ Comments

This poem has a daring title, and daring itself can have several meanings. So which one do I mean? I'll give you two. The title is bold because it is a question we can only answer after reading the poem. But the poem continually questions its own reliability, the speaker claims to be uncertain himself. So whether I answer the question YES or NO is not as important as grasping the complexity of the issue. The other meaning of daring does not address the poem so much as the writer. Are you daring me to contradict you? Are you daring me to match wits with you? You must be playing at least word-games with me, or is it something more - MIND GAMES? I can't win at these games, so I'll go back to the first meaning. I like the security of talking to the poem itself. It invites me inside where ideas, feelings, intuitions jostle around with no need to resolve themselves.
