I scraped a poem out of my head
And after a crude dissection
It sat there, a wet and unread
Lexicographic itch in cross section
Next, I dipped it in pixels.
(It's for poems instead of formaldehyde)
So here. Now it's official-
-Ly poetry-brain-tissue apartheid.
(Sorry about that last line. I might come back to it later.)
I love the visceral guts of this and the rigor of the metaphor...
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when failing inspiration meets dissection lab day!
Delete(I think is the best poem I've written so far tbh.)
