This isn’t a Poem

This isn’t a poem
It’s the fallout from an explosion
in a dictionary.
Mixed with the shredded pages of
a thesaurus, glued back together
at random.

This isn’t a poem.
It’s words plucked from
a scrambled radio station or
phrases pulled from a
scratched record played
at the wrong speed.

Which then begs the question….

If this isn’t a poem
why do I expect anyone to read it?

And why did I even bother to write it?
