She Believes She's Cummings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and she believes that is her
her, a poet, imagine that
she cant write
she cant even ape the style properly, ask anyone that knows
"anyone lived in a pretty how town
with up so floating many bells down"
that was him, much better than you
whether you are him or not doesn't matter
i know you for what you are and him you are not
no caps, see
no creative arrangement of paragraphs
just a piece of paper, some tripe from a pen
just a no-talent hack, some words on a screen
and someone else's style are all that you can be
if words and music
are your body and soul
then your soul is empty,
your body not whole
not cummings,
never never
you punctuate like him though
