why I poetry

Mystifying things sprout in shadows… October 2023.

"You know why I poetry?"

[Excuse me?]

"I poetry because only there 
unclamps my scheming, planning,
anal-fixated Self. It can't get
Here, this Here where I poetry.
It doesn't like it though, when
I'm Here. Can you
hear the screaming?"

The screaming of the souls of a million middle school English teachers? 🙂
