What Is The Meaning Of The Poem "A Conceit" By Maya Angelou?

I think the central idea is that real, physical human contact is more important, more precious than words and ideas. There is a kind of joke or paradox here (one meaning of the word "conceit" is a kind of quirky or fanciful idea) because of course this celebration of "real" life and love is expressed through the distant form of a poem! So the idea is both very simple and complicated.
