there will
be no more poems
shared, inscribed, or written,
sipped, savored, or eaten,
nor poems nibbled at
with salt and pepper and
nothing playful will be left
in the margins of letters,
no couplets, no stanzas
no rhymes, no dances
with words in the air,
juggling meaning
We don’t care!
There will be nothing
no more here
under the guise
of a poem
Until further notice,
be fully aware:
there will
be no more poems
shared, inscribed, or written,
sipped, savored, or eaten,
nor poems nibbled at
with salt and pepper and
nothing playful will be left
in the margins of letters,
no couplets, no stanzas
no rhymes, no dances
with words in the air,
juggling meaning
We don’t care!
There will be nothing
no more here
under the guise
of a poem
*until there is
Cards, dice, and board games allowed.
