A poem is letra

Actors act
Poets write poems
It's in the ink for me
Still just feels necessary and voluntary

Poems decree, scribing
In fact the hateful didn't want us reading or writing
So be careful of those mesmerizing, memorizing, signifying acts
Solely only for the hands to crash

Popping corn cadences over practiced entertaining shit
Great monologues are cousins to poetry but let that word do its
Dirty dirt

Write now
Put it down and let them read

Hurt, you are not alone
Rebirth
She, he, them begins again

Is the writing illuminating?
Is your thought thought worthy?
Without all the personalities and
The seasonings, a poem is an unsafe plank

A universal, deeply personal, revolution
A poem is a riot
A good poem will make you sit in your got damn car
By your got damn self
And be quiet
