Study your vocabulary, children
Unlearn
You think you’re clever
The way you march your words
Two by two by three
Like ants in a line
But you won’t make it
So learn the
Rules
That’s hardly a poem
Now Byron, on the other hand…
Read Beowulf pages 45-52…
Who buys their child bukowski
For their fourteenth birthday?
Fuck you, that’s who
And the lumpy, bloated horse you rode in on
–Michael Currier
