Strangeness and poetry

This video has gone viral recently, it is a claymation piece of art by Kirsten Lepore.  People report it makes them feel both uncomfortable and also calm and soothed, sometimes at the same time.  It obviously is getting at something psychological with its strangeness, something it seems to me poetry can also sometimes do. Part of the effect is the intimacy this stranger establishes with the viewer almost immediately, I think that is part of the discomfort and then further intimacy is implied, including knowledge of the viewer themselves. So why to people find it soothing if still creepy. Though intimacy is established the creature seems to also be empathic and affirming. The music also helps. I'm going to maybe try and write a poem that works these same modes. If it is successful to any extent I will post. I have also included the Stephen Colbert sendup of Hi Stranger, it is not poetic but is funny
