Here's a bag of responses:
I don't read
I open a book at random and only read those two pages
Why did you use a pen on the book you absolute mongrel
They're trying to emphasise those words for some reason
It was a typo
The whole poem is a typo

I don't read

>pen on the book

I didn't. It's a digital mark on the photo I took of the book

>It's a typo
to be fair, those apostrophes are omitted in two versions I found online just now

I forgot to add that poetry is pretentious and that you shouldn't read too much into it. People just write poetry to get laid. Bukowski, emo kids and pretentious literature students. Burn this book or use it as toilet paper. What the future holds for the human race is left in your hands

Poetry is good also you're right about Donne writing these poems just to get laid

Yes. Suicide is the only answer.
