To Be or Not to Be
Lines of linguistic train wrecks
crash their coupled words
into higgledy-piggledy junkyards.
It's your poem to disown.
but you post it because your mind
craves to see itself on digital paper.
The poem may appear in its Sunday Best
but the bible it clings to is full of gypsy jargon.
Have faith or have no faith,
you must convince a faceless audience
that are already distracted
trying to make sense of their own poetry.
if you get it, you really have not got it.
Like sand through stiff fingers
it shapeshifts onto a white sky -
its then you realize
that the 'submit your poem' option
is, and always was,
a trap.
