Raj Arumugam - a poem without italics

2014-11-08 1

A poem incapable of italics
is simply pathetic
- Jackrudin






a poem in which
even when necessary
you can’t
use italics
whether through ignorance
or through plain disabled
or through a technicality
is a sad poem



(damn! three words in all so far
in this poem
and a fabricated quote
and a whole line
that I wanted in italics
after the parenthesis
have all been disabled!)
is italics some form of profanity?
