Ars poetica

Modern American Poetry

In the beginning is the word, and the
Word is with god, and the word is god.

In the 2020s, the word is inert, the word
Is a wad of dough,polished, painted,

Punctured, strung up with a dozen
More to make a faux pearl necklace.

Read a poem, to ease the pain –
Ordain a poet, and make it rain.
