It was a write-off
like many others,
a Saturday sofa sessionAlmost coping with the
lack of Wordsworthโs words,
almost feeling obligated to include
an ampersand; an and; an et; but no
in the end resisting such fanciful
pursuitsThere are plentiful of abusive ways
pick a language; not your own
a.n.d we dare you
bring it on,
worst of your giving may be best of
my taking; thinking not
but stumbling,
kneeling under pressures of words
spoken without standing under,
a grammatically abusive worldI leave behind me
