“Just because they write something In this font
And break apart their lines
To rhyme
To dramatize
To imitate
Doesn’t make what they say true.
And quotations marks
Don’t make sentences “life conclusions.”
A post, a page,
A billboard, or a wallpaper—
Let it swirl for a few
and if you want to spit it out,
Vomit.
If you want to keep it,
Let it ride shotgun.
But argue with it first.
Debate.
Don’t simply accept it
Because you may
By accident
Accept a monster
Disguised
As a poem.”
