Can poetry ever be irrelevant?

Can poetry ever extend beyond perception/Imagination, and become non-applicable?
It's an interesting thought, because even incomprehensible abstractions operate with an underlying function
And I guess maybe that's the very purpose of the art, to explore the unknown frontier, question it so that it can be examined with form

I'm picturing a contemporary artist (you know, the type of person to see God in a toilet bowl), who finds joy in combing all sorts of worthless junk together in hopes of extracting some sort of quality from nothingness. 

& oddly enough, he achieves his initial goal, but even that falls within the parameters of imagination
almost as if mind is intrinsic to reality, and to separate the two would be to lobotomize oneself, I guess.

To what ends can the mind go? I DON'T KNOW

Just rambling, move on.

Round of Cheese

Round of cheese
hung high at daybreak,
demanded an omelet
before it cracked
the western horizon.

maybe we don't see any value
in the junk collector's art
but someone else might
or maybe the quality of nothingness is the art
I have seen some gallery art that made me laugh, seemed ludicrous
but it was in a fine museum taking up space
so someone must have been charmed by it
maybe the work of the artist, the energy used by the being, is some form of art
or maybe just his expression, no matter how abstract or ridiculous to some,
has done his soul good.

Poetry is irrelevant

If the reader doesn't smell
the fingered belly-button stench
of a sweating gorgonzola.

and poetry is mild if the reader
cannot feel the pinched cheek
smile of a crystalised mature chedder.

In fact, I suspect the only limitation
to poetry, is the readers imagination
and their tolerance of cheese.

Haha this is great, I see your points guys.

Definitely irrelevant, I suppose I should've reworded the title to "beyond conception", maybe that's the same thing though
