MANICOMIO
In the maximum security
prison of the mind,
breakout!
wayward words escape
past the razor wire
of conformity.
Pandemonium!
¡sálvese quien pueda!
made-up words,
four-letter words,
opposite-meaning words,
rap ‘n roll words.
The Adverb Patrol declares
a grammatical emergency.
“We’re being overrun
by renegade words…
set your phasers on erase,
fire when you see their vowels!”
