The penalty imposed
for writing
expressively
is
LIFE
I have been sentenced to L I F E
... to write
Handcuffed
to concept papers
with ink pens
for keys
Chained to short statements or phrases
that won't ever get
... time ...
to be free
An etymon to be written
in the confines
of compositions
between thoughts
behind bars
and
in the small spaces of
concrete lexical elements
I was framed
by abstraction
with false intent ...
my lyrical terminology
was taken out of context
imprisoned by my
mind's discontent
A libretto that
got locked up with
my expletive emotion
... and
now there is
no chance for vocabular parole
before this term
will expire
No conditional release
will be granted
and all of
my transcripted notes
will remain
unspoken
So here I sit on "Soul" Block C
pleading the 5th
or maybe even "involuntary poetry"
but until my next appeal
I am here
to finish out
a FULL Life Sentence.
