their words across the page, i’m not sure why

but it’s fun to read; italics make everything crisper

&bold text? a type of darkness; a bold statement&

when i see an underline, i imagine a teacher

at the chalk board, furiously making a point

&why do poets

when they can write

all in lowercase

&use fancy symbols

maybe poetry is a crash course in fury

&i’m available for all of it, in its pure

and unadulterated wisdom & glory

i’m a v a i l a b l e for all of it
