In nothing but a string of letters and words I'll make you feel something It might not be great but it'll be something, it's got to be - something new, something novel But it won't be sad. We all know what sadness is It won't be happy or beautiful or even ugly because that's all old hat No funky formatting, or perspective shifts, no careful pronouns It won't have images or anything Just words Objective words with meanings older than the earth, And no one will ever misunderstand just what I meant when I wrote it And no one will ever have experienced anything quite like it before And it'll make someone, somewhere, just once think: "Whoa, this poetry stuff can be as spiritual as music"
