To the poetry reader: I ask one thing from you when you sample my poerty. That you say the words aloud, and only that.
I think this gives me the time I need
to win you with the multi-verse
of the english lingua
Language is a creature that changes and adapts. Just as adaptation is written into the homo-sapien's DNA, likewise our primary method of communication depends on slight revision and is subject to genetic drift. Say the words aloud and I will win you.
Follow this suggestion with all poetry and become aware of the poem's "shadow".
