Something in form like a poem
so in form you may sit and read
poetry. In form, the writer
can then be a poet and yet,
the content is impossible
to talk about. An excellent
trick. But think if this caught on. Books
full of lines of garbled text would
soon align along shelves, and talk
of impossible things would grow.
And I for one, welcome this course.
Better than poems about kings
and queens and other antiques. More
poems about the love life of
tomatoes, and beaches falling
through giant hourglasses. More
poems about witches on trains
poems about poems written
by ancient pale worms, confusion,
the arc of the covenant as
an interstellar alien
heart. More poems where love is not
quite expressed in a throwaway
half list-verse talking poetry
