The Shape Is Not Content

A sentence short or one that's length we cannot comprehend my usual words a well known friend does the shape end on the final word or jut into a pictured absurd S paces break the rhythm commmon commas out of comas F ollo___ath only icy ___w a p Steel the words so often abused leave the reader so con Fused see an image never meant W ____________________________h ____________________________y i write the right to rite Do we just jumble the dcitoinary Are we reaching for another's validation or the vile nation reaches for a knot that strangles as i hang on a dot critters size the ticks that talk Look at the stem on the rose i must stalk the stalk Sleep my demon Sleep my angel let my whispers find their silence at the edges of my thoughts
