Being an Eloi is Okay, But Make Sure the Smoke Alarms Have Fresh Batteries
Some poets are Eloi, deconstructing this And disconnecting that in weak free verse Between the reiki and the pilates Trying to find an existential voice
And other poets are grim Morlocks, almost, Through muscling chaos into meaning and light Between the night shift and the morning cup Trying to build a voice that speaks with strength
To shape lack of meaning into meaning That is neither this nor that, but itself
