He f***s like he writes poetry

With long strokes of dribbling ink

Stumbling through

                                                    stuffy

                                                    fragranced

                                                     adjectives.

Lights out

Verbs cast dim shadows

Squirming coldly in the moonlight.

One day I’ll find my Shakespeare.
