Poets Have Tourette's

[sentrovasi]

They (who) write words - not sentences which

hang; not really going (anywhere)

(in                    forward

backward        between)

why the

awkward       (brackets)                    pauses

which seem                 like

(words)             without catching a breath;     breathing.

Pause.

End-STOP                (a)        in         (play)

(on) words, and maybe not even then

(quiet)

And then an (outburst) of c o l o u r

(rude)       like a                (giant!)            footstep

Or a poet        (-struggling-) with Tourette’s

STOP(end)

... Seriously, though; what's with that?
