Wright Words

I want to be a right or
Not be writ ten off
Like a drunken sail or
Quaffing at a trough.

I want to be a right or
And stupefy with words
Not a punch-drunk fight or
Hurting for a wards.

I want to be a right or
Even if not write
If only I could spell or
Make it sound less tright.

I want to be a wordwright
To hammer, not type
Make thought caught in flight
Concrete, not hype.
