I detest- more than being wordless
hate more than being lifeless.
my inability to arrange thought
arrange feeling into words
called poetry, usually known.
I can’t, when I’m wordless, force
Life.
I can’t when I’m lifeless, force
Word.

It comes
lacking soul
Truth.

forced laugh
cause gag reflex

forced word
like accent of
nothingness

when I FEEL,
I write.

can’t write when I nothing feel.
