Nothing poetic about this:
doesn’t matter what I’ve said,
written, blurted, spat, or spewed before:
no reason to parse this, scan this,
I’ll admit it’s no poem worthy of the name:
no rapper, slammer, academic voice
worth its breath here:
don’t care.
What I say now is just said
for its naked meaning:
live. Live. The art will come
from that, but later. For now,
just live.

Function over form. My kind of poem.

I think of it as voice over craft. Same thing. Sometimes, that’s important.
