“Slanted lines and scant replies remind me that I can’t deny what rants inside -
Pour plants in pieces, pots, and pans
-healthy habits how they help the style to flower, flourish, foliate the art all while the poet shows some personal growth;
Turn the dial;
Adjust the levels,
now trust the mettle
-Truss assembled-
Just clear the dust -
Restore the rusted metal;
Explore the crust, the mantle
-Implore the core:
Ask what you have in store -
Snag it to the surface,
past the crags that lurked or loomed like storms-a-brewin’,
through the weighted waters, shrieking waves;
Surf and race to pursue pain -
Placed in verse without refrain.”
-Old Dying Joe
