COMATOSE
Some call it verse without the rhyme
Marcel Marceau without the mime
The wasted words get joined in prose
and leave me mostly comatose.....
Yes busted prose is comatose
like coffins in a hearse
modern verse is for the crows
for making nests or worse...
so proze for those that wind it so,
just can't get a handle on it,
the modern world loves it though,
i just can't place the grommet.
