If You Enjoyed this Poem, Why Not…
-as The Paris Review often says
Construct your work with focus and intent
Through your assemblages of nouns and verbs
Whose rhythms strengthen as they help each other
Build truth and beauty from materials found
Then sculpt your work, and chip and throw away
Empowerment, self-pity, bridges, walls
First-person pronouns and hashtaggery
Adverbs, and those worn-out gossamer wings
(After all, you don’t even know what gossamer is)
Construct your work with focus and intent
Then sculpt your work, and chip and throw away
