Description [poetry is not a science,
is not commanding letters into line to salute and stand down,
soldiers.]

poetry is the vandalism of the lost,
graffiti on the values of society,
defiance.

[poetry is not a test,
is not looking up pretty words in the dictionary
to insert into your stanzas, a doctor's shot.]

poetry is love of the hopeful,
dreams risen from the ashes of hate and disappointment,
bittersweet.

[poetry is not a race,
is not swapping problems,
comparing whose pig is fattest at the slaughterhouse.]

poetry is the song of the fractured butterfly,
broken fingers playing a melody of ink,
irreparable.
