Unable To Speak
Trying to make the poetry prose
Or the prose poetic again
I insulted the meaning
With juxtaposition
Stabbing an idea
That should have been shot
Killing a verse
That should have been saved
Thinking the truth
While uttering a lie
Forming the words
—unable to speak
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2014)
