Poetry Is Fallacy


Poetry is fallacy
integrity, incongruity
ingenuity, ambiguity
It speaks of the unseen
vents the spleen
subverts the tough
the mean, the dream
All of those things
and more
Says what Mike cannot
Jumps writer's block
Shoehorns feelings
into readers
It does klepto
your attention
co-opt your dementia
in absentia
You're better for it
though it hurts
tugs your blankey
and perverts
