Disch’s poem speaks to the fact that some of the best moments in life involve little things. These events are often brief, yet they can still have a significant effect on your day. One of the most important points of this poem is that these beautiful moments must be brief and fleeting, otherwise, there will be no reason to long for the event to repeat itself. Not to make this about sports, but what, an example that comes to mind is the way that the media treated Derek Jeter this season, as it was his final season. Many outlets, including Gatorade, made exceptions to policies in order to honor Jeter. If these companies did this every time a player retired, it would not be special or significant. However, it was a very meaningful gesture because it does not happen very often. This is certainly not the best example for everyone, but it was something that came to mind for me. I’m sure we each have experiences like this that are brief, but still have a impact on us.
