(with thanks to e. e. cummings)
since syntax is rst
who pays any attention
to the feeling of things
will never wholly parse you;
wholly to be a poet
while Grammar is in the world
my mind approves,
and sentences are better fate
than haiku
lady i swear by all the style guides. Don’t comma splice
—the best gesture of my heart is less than
your substantive nouns which say
we are for each other: then
compose, declining into the dative
for a paragraph’s not life
And death i think is no lexical gap
