Poem-picking

I am picking a poem for a friend, who reads a lot, 
but never poetry—
                It has to be something concrete,
Reliable; not abstract; not a jab in the dark

And hoping that it'll stick—a powerful, simple piece 
That is both direct and succinct—to the point, 
But folds 
Onto itself again and again—completes 

Through a wormhole 
Its self-admissible journey.
