Zone Poet3
(Verse With A Lisp ¹ )
Look here, wannabes —
You wanna write poetry?
Well, now, let me see:
You live in Zone 3?
It’s not living exactly —
existing really.
Your writing will be
Vulgar and decidedly
Coarse, crude and filthy
It will simply be
authentic and genuine,
heartfelt and sincere,
Art, not artifice
and, like the vermin you are,
born wild and free
—
¹ And, no doubt, other congenital deformities due to generation (quite literally) upon generation of inbreeding.
