Life Among the Illiterates
words carve
a larger cognitive cave
a prose infusion
a verse inoculation
leverage the advantages of manuscript
over monument
one life is so short
there is only time to make one poem of it
a beautiful blasphemy
against the lies of coercion
a beautiful code
that illuminates, not obscures
read me not for my errors
but for my felicities
