On the Intangible Poetry


Write it down Little yellow pad of paper Baby blue Lines Black Lines Criss-Crossing Lines Intangible fishing Lines Repetition and rhythm Conception Gestation Birth Cut abstract concepts Add concrete details No Prepositions No Articles No beating around the bush Say what is needed Fall into the page Fall into the yolk of mismatched color But don't say Love Or Thought Those are abstracts concepts Fish hooks And Lines Pulling Say what you need to say; so others may know you Just say it out of mere auditory necessity
