       Shane Koyczan's poem "More Often Than Sometimes" describes how much we know about each other and even the ones who we think we know nothing about we know something about. I liked the similie "We could’ve stayed out for weeks, could’ve watched the way the sun leaks like liquid over the horizon, casting shadows over all the right places of a bargain bin" and how he uses it to describe the speaker's endless date with this beautiful girl. As well as them being "like two games of solitaire waiting to be played by one another". I also like the the hyperbole where saying that even "if there were one million teachers breathing down my neck telling me that the answer is no, I would say yes" expressing his eternal love for this girl. The theme of this poem is that we don't always realize how often we study each other and realize the beauty in one or the personality of another becuase humans are curious, and we often can't help looking into anything that interests us.
