Notes About The Poem

Rigid Straightness

and it dawns on me
while straightness
aims for conformity
it seems to clutter
people's brains
with madeup rules of
shoulds and musts
that snowball
spitefully into
rampant
venomous
chaos

Gershon Wolf July 16, 2020 at 9:47 AM Agreed. All right angles never worked for me, either, Line. Thanks, gw Line Gauthier July 16, 2020 at 10:31 AM lol ~ that's what squares are made of

Timothy Mcguire July 13, 2020 at 2:30 PM I agree, conformity kills free thinking, thank God for poetry. Line Gauthier July 13, 2020 at 9:03 PM Thanks, Timothy ~
