LEGALIZE POETRY!
Or at least make it only
a crime of opportunity…
there’s a pad and a pen,
-or even a pencil-
what is one to do?
-I meant no harm, your honor,
I’ll swear to it on a stack of “Howl”s!”
-A strange compulsion
made me write one word,
then another,
and before you can say “quatrain”,
there it was! my masterpiece!
Well, you know, masterpiece…
-más o menos-
but it could be some day…
got to keep adding nutrients
to my vision.
