If I may?

If
I think myself ugly
& go to the mirror, smiling,
at the inaccuracy, or now
the rain pounds dead grass
in the stone yard, I think
how very wise I am. How very
very wise.

-- Amiri Baraka

Seems like there's many different voices there, yet still held in its own idiom. If you agree, what is that? I'm looking to write a short presentation, on Baraka, and want to be critical, too.

Thanks for any help, of course.


Best,
