Word

when in doubt-i-hyphentate.

 

this-also prevents Microsoft-word

from capitializing my i-‘s when i-want them

to stay bite-sized humble pie,

but it still capitalizes

itself)

 

Microsoft word*

* big ‘m’ added by bill gates

 

misspelling it prevents this

micropoft word*

* i-am the best kind of rebel

 

i-refuse to be told how to write by anyone

gate-related or otherwise,

even if i-may occasionally **** myself

on paper, the rain will take it all off,

we shall all be healed.

we *will all be healed.

 

carried away from the squaggly

green/red/blue lines of a processor

which doesn”t understand: poerty so often is

sentence fragments and uncapitalized i-s

untied shoelaces in a dark boling alley,

my bad breath and watered down alcohol,

stains and the hours spent rubbing them,

sounds on a dead tv set, rubbing carpet in

your aunt’s living room,

 

i-can spell

things how

i-want to

poerty is fun
