A poem is just a little machine

... according to Don Paterson. In "T.S. Eliot Lecture 2004, The Dark Art of Poetry" Paterson says "a poem is just a little machine for remembering itself." Though Paterson says far far more in this lecture, including nifty bits about silence and risk, I found myself caught up in a little machine. Where's Doctor Who when you need him?
