With an I.Q. that is barely high enough
to reach the 800 numbers
of the Dewey Decimal System;
“Literature and Rhetoric”,
I do my best to keep up with others
in this place, this institution. Those few prolifically
creative individuals, who verbosely
refer to themselves in the third person
and categorize others as 040’s or “Unassigned”.
Elitist poets and know it alls,
whose resume look like some internet list
of Who is Who, compiled by the
International Society of Poetry’s board
in one of their anthologies. If not
for them, I would give up my writing; because
if not for them I would have nothing to compare it to…
