Reason Without Rhyme
by Michael R. Burch

But alas, in the end,
it’s all the same:
all verse is unpaid
and a crying shame.

As if it was dead,
After a bloody gore,
They had submerged in its custody,
A lot many papers and notes,
Carrying dates and events,
About people and...

Like angels and demons in a guileful romance
