No One is Your Vibrant Stereotype

 

One’s words and one’s friends are not tuning forks

They do not vibrate, and are thus not vibrant

Nor are they folksy, colorful, or quaint

Curiosities for you to collect

 

Poetic verse is free of DNA

An iamb suffers no identity

It boldly speaks its rhythm clear and strong

And metric feet march to their own chosen beat

 

But

 

If you feel that any culture should vibrate

Then go sit on yourself and just…rotate
