Rivalry Rhymes with Poetry?
No, I hate it. It shouldn't. It can't!
Yet somehow, it does. It does!
I chant it out loud over and over:
"Poetry rhymes with rivalry, poetry..."
It's my enemy.
Poetry is a tragedy.
Seriously. It's even comical
I don't know how to irony these words.
I'm woven into language
I can hardly pronounce without
cringing under its heated pressure.
I am flat as an ironed suit now.
All my wrinkles were cavalry against the steam,
except we lost in vain.
Who the hell are "we", anyway?
