Prose: A Dangerous Game

Calling it fiction does not stop the pressure:
Say what is true in words we can understand
Or we will drop you off in the ocean with
Concrete shoes on your hands
Therefore, staying in the shallower
Waters of verse keep one safe from the
Judges and their gavels, for as long as you
Avoid complete sentences make up words
Eschew commas and other reasonable punct
uation and fold words overlines -- you will stay
On the outside of a world that wants you to make
Sense
