I think poems are beautiful but elusive things. The first time I see a poem, I might not get it completely; I mean, I understand the gist and can comprehend the meaning of it. But I only truly appreciate a poem only perhaps years or months after I read it. It's when something happens in my own experience, and then I realise it resonates with the poem. Then a sort of incredible enlightenment falls on me, and I feel a connection with the poet - and go, "Oh my god. This is what so-and-so meant."

Computational biology results still not out. Sick of waiting.
