Words
don't come easy any more
as they used to
- they just don't -
in lines
in paragraphs
in verse
in essays
(formal or familiar)
in splattered patterns.
Now
they prefer
to line up
in lists
like children
at the water fountain -
lists with lots... of dots,
lists of seventeen,
lists that explore
what is no more,
lists of what isn't and was
never meant to be,
lower-case lists,
abbr. lists,
lists that illustrate,
lists that finalize,
lists that domesticate,
lists w/ twists.
See what I mean.
Lists
list.
