Some like their poetry with ten percent less
Compressed
Into small, easy to swallow portions
Contortioned
Into short, sweet sugar-coated contents
Condensed
Into watered down soups for those emotionally constipated
Concentrated
Into thoughtless juice for the self-conflicted
Constricted
To the mind of the starving poet, cosmetically redesigned
Continuously Confined

I was looking up spoken-word poetry at 2am, unable to sleep. My eyes were blurry, causing me to mistake the title "Def poetry" for "Diet poetry". I laughed at myself in my delirium then the rest happened from there.
