Ars poetica

Apprentice and Aspirant Poets

Collecting now in numbers unknown
to generations that rolled their own
poets in barrels down Wall Street,

Are apprentice and aspirant poets, sold
on the promise that school is where to
unpack the supernatural, that university

Is where the action unfolds in line with rules
that morph into walls lined with mirrors that
divide us from nature, forever free and unruly.
