not that it really matters. i honestly just want people to read this. this is so extremely perfect. it describes what we remember, it does it flawlessly. it has everything without trying to seem like it wants to be something. if you read this aloud, you'll understand. everything from the breaks, to the diction, to the imagery and voice are incredible. this is professional, this is years and years of writing culminating to one gorgeous explosion. im usually impressed by spoken but after i read this i literally mumbled to find words.

OP's link is broken so here is a working one.
I could have swore I voted on this before the site went to shit but, to reiterate, I vote yes.
A lot of what is written here (RB) is contrived, A LOT. This, however, is hands down one of the most genuine things that I've ever read on this site or otherwise, and with consideration to other criteria ( technical merit, how it stacks up to other legendary pieces, etc.) it more than qualifies. I honestly believe he has other poems that belong in here, but this definitely resonates as one of his best and one of the best overall.
