Why’d you do it with nothing to round the fact
As you would say, “Drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes!”
As a matron of the Temperance Movement, a participant
Not really participating, but enjoying the
quotations of vice
For their sake, as a teacher eating her chalk to
spew lessons
Or my racket, beyond every girl’s Rubicon: outclassed
Points well made, Matthew! Like!

ReplyDeleteFantastic your writing style is very cool
ReplyDeleteWell done! I like this!
ReplyDeletehmm.I take that ouclassed bit with a pinch of irony and pun.fascinating as always. but sometimes I do wish that you would lend a bit more meat to your poems, open the windows just a bit more, so that we have a few more signposts to guide us.
ReplyDeleteA playful word romp. Very cool, indeed Matthew!
ReplyDeleteThis is dense and full of layers, lots to chew on here, thanks. Love the racket double entendre -
