i only do free verse
i only do free verse
i rarely make exceptions
ever since i learned about it in 5th grade
i made a silent vow to myself
that i would utilize this new expression
at every opportunity
because, you see
it is fun to rhyme, and it does take skill
but it takes courage to write the word "courage"
even if it doesn't rhyme with orange
that's what it means to be an uncatchable individual
raised to the zillionth power
if you understand what i mean
well, good for you, i guess
complex are these colored wires
these are what plug our eyes to see the colors
in the way that we understand the world
even if it's a dull photodecadent shade of cold sepia
or grainy footage of a mushroom cloud
even if your "blue" doesn't rhyme with my sky
as long as you try to talk about it, and don't beat yourself up, you can make a lot of cool things.
it's not lazy. it's just life.
and life is art, isn't it?
think about it
