Every Word
by Matthew ZangenI can write my poems longer
to help you love them
before I hurt you
or you can listen
to my commas
tearing limbs from words
to dangle swing or throw
at better poets
so only punctuation remains
and question marks hold back ellipses
while exclamation points fuck periods 12/13/2008 Posted on 12/13/2008
