I tried to rid myself of words
to deal only in concepts

But
I was given:
cursive
poetry
expletives
instead

I tried to write in cursive
but found I’d forgotten the proper way
So I was given my own hand
Messy as fuck and hard to read

I tried to write a poem
but was overwhelmed by concepts
So I was given a finger
so I could point to the
Moon

and I swore like a sailor.
