Alphabirths by

Synopsis:

A parodic reflection on writing and language.

Book Excerpt:

Verse X

You wrote rot, wrought

Rapid wretchedness after

This line, that line, broken

Where X-

Pens tickle, no, tackle your confidence

Words throttle your throat

On behalf.

Verse Y

You read dread, fought

Footmarks to the next idea

This thought, that thought, undressed

Where X-

Tent, yes, intent

Signs arrest, if

Verse Z

You lived lost, sub-

Versions of an unfinished poem

This form, that content, reincarnating failed theories

Where X-

Changes of intellectual goods invest, no, divest

The tyranny of practice, brilliant controversies

Living the last canon.
