I Write Poetry Once In a While
Discussion of interlingual backformations
Like sweet music to my ears
Sounds like coming home
Or it would
If I wanted to go back
I can see the utter irrelevance of the subject
A dubious gift of adolescence
Idle prattle on a busy Monday morning
And so many topics left unconsidered
World hunger, AIDS relief,
" Real issues "
All that matters in Mom's kitchen is the proper grammatical placement
Of the second comma
And what to make for lunch.
