Experimental
I thought about doing some experimental poetry;
you paste words here and there
making a shape though keeping it bewildering.
You have to look at it upside down or from right to left,
but I really don't dislike poetry that much
to try it out.
I'm not a traditionalist, just old,
I sleep pushing words around
to make them fit over an imagined camels hump
which is dumb being as I haven't yet figured out
what a poem is and camels are ornery.
I guess that many poetic lines are an experiment,
a chemical fuse leading to a laboratory accident
set to explode
when most of the world is not looking.
