Simplicity
The god-awful reality
is that I could care less about
this left-handed poetry
theory of current redoubt.
It could be left-hand or right-hand
or a pencil between toes;
as far as the midnight shaman -
it s the daybreak call of crows
that bedevils and sends me
in search of that perfect word
(if first I had that perfect pen!).
No demon, no divinity
will get my salute or bow.
It s grunt work, this forming of
syllables, the unhinged vowel,
symbols from below or above.
Brain dominance has nothing
to do with it, I declare.
It s about a sweaty thing
called work. Thats it laid bare.
