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?
