Ode To Poems That Don't Rhyme

I hate you, poems that do not rhyme
you are at liberty to say as you please
without alliteration
without reason
authentic chaos
where to end your lines--where to finish stanzas?
who the fuck cares you say
i'll do as i wish and the hell with punctuation
because i am a fucking genius
an entrepreneur of the english vocabulary
a wordsmith
with a thesaurus
i am immune to rhythm... meter...cadence
Emily Goddamn Dickinson
put down your fucking pen
stop wasting your ink
another octopus dies
dictionary sediment
falling into an abyss of empty syllables
vomited from the demon's mouth
