Preamble: Compare and Contrast
compare and contrast,
the teacher asks us to
do this,
on a mid-term
exam and I am
struck-up by a resonance combo, a commandment
compare and contrast, somewhere an ineffable has
ordered me to love poetry, in all/only honesty,
in that uncertain way. without surcease.
functional verbs that a button pushed,
a non-rhyme that sang out somehow
“this is the writing life, this way, yours.”
live and last.
with that single directive,
compare and contrast.
without surcease,
and your poem then, has no The End.
