Notes About The Poem

This Side of Art

Words have become such
      naughty little daredevils

turning my thoughts
      inside out,
and up-side down


in order to have their own way


Using sentences
              as jump ropes,
while snickering at verbs

Who think it's attractive
  to dance around
           like,
nonsensical cheerleaders


Sometimes . . .  
         it gets very maniacal in here,
but i find it extremely hard to resist
                   this side of art
