Me, I am a rhyming poet.
So sue me, cause I would rather go
Idiot than try and flow freely,
say words flowerily than
what they are to me.

I would rather
stomp some sushi and swordfish with soulful music.
I would rather
make melodies, Marxism and magic then sue sick.
I would rather
amplify, alleviate, Advocate, and allude to it
then say
Fuck flowery flow and fastidious conclusions
– O – P- e- N E-N-d -e d
leave poets with contusions,
just leave them guessing.

_ _ _ Y
_ o _ ‘_

a_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Let them do what they do.
They can’t do what
I am doing.
