a little bit of shhh for the mc please

[carrot_carrot]

thank you.



I'm not doing this for you,
for school,
for private institutions out to make a profit,
or big-city government slipping ones out of my wallet
I'm writing this poem against time
the meter doesn't matter
and neither does the rhyme
I
spend my days
in a haze
of street signs
the last poem i read got stuck in my head
one line:

NO TIME -- MAKE IT COUNT

so you tell me about meter or rhyme
dissect it for me and spin it back through lies
of
subliminal messaging
the metaphor is king
and we are proles

before him

we don't exist

without him

my words desist

before him

and resist against him
because poetry is a rebel
che guevara on a motorcycle
guerilla warfare against meter and rhyme,
king metaphor and time
