You tell me…
the structure gives strength to your writing

I tell you…
it’s nothing but crutches in waiting

You tell me…
  the order brings beginning and end

I tell you…
  the sequence does feign and pretend

You tell me…
  the form—the most important of things

I tell you…
  the message is on Seraphim’s wings

You show me…
  the prison you’ve build with your pen

I show you…
   a cartridge empty—no ink from within

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2016)
