Not Seeing How Words Die

Can anyone write poetry if they try Or is it a vocation for the few Inherited by feeling how words lie? Is there new equipment I can buy With sense and music writing to imbue Can anyone write poetry if they try? Ambitious how the people each will vie To be the first in any kind of queue Undisturbed by knowing how words lie? For a talent, who can multiply? Compound interest shows a startling view Can anyone write poetry if they try? Transcendental number start with e and pi I wonder, shall I eat my words for you Undisturbed by knowing how they lie? I feel so bright, I seem to have turned blue Throw me in the ocean, let me stew Can anyone write poetry if they try Unknowing how, not seeing that words die?
