The failure to recognize
how prose always
hated poetry always
tried to undermine
annihilate and finally
replace him with herself
how this goes back to
childhood even to life
before birth before the Greeks
even the later comedians
the post-savants of their time
still pretended things were mended
between them and their rhymes
but it was all just suppressed
a gag order behind walls
until poetry started
to hate back again
even if only to expose
prose as prose
wherever and whenever
she appears as poems.
