What And Why, Due We Write, Thats Right? Poem by Michael Gale

What And Why, Due We Write, Thats Right?



Why do we write? ....
Is it right?
to write?

What must we write? ...
All right, all right.
Is the idea morally right? ...
Due we wright, all right?

Is that word of denial, not the River Nile? ...
Do we just write a word of mistrust and mistrial?
What must we write for readers of our words? ...
Will it be about a western, or just cow-poke, and the ranching of unhearded herds?

What about diebetes, that disease? ...
I think it should be spelled as dieabeetus, or perhaps even, even
as even or uneven as duyabeatus, don't you see, if you must please?
Why is there no sound of ess in that island all unheard? ...
Why do we Americans spell those words of letters not well heard.

What is in the spelling of a word? ...
Gone away, as in, flew the bird.
Why do we not spell as heard? ...
Of that other misknown word.

What is a word? ...
But of one idea, thought or heard.
What is inside a word and also in between? ...
So unheard, as best unseen.
