Poems are surmountable. They have rhymes and rhythms to help you make meaning. They're short enough. to read and reread until you've made some sense of them. Short stories are a different ballgame. You read them and understand the words completely. You know what happens in each sentence. You follow the dialogue and action. at the end, you know exactly what's happened. And also you have no idea.
