Hack Job

Or how to butcher the written word by being absurd

Hack Job

Unbury ye ole’ hatchet…

It ain’t as if plain Janes or regular Joes

Are about to connect these dots to catch it.

Découpage toute ça — chop chop!

“Your poems are too much like the sound of one hand clapping,”

Said an aged published poet to a rising upstart.

Hence that ambitious young man

Undertook the ‘weirding way’

Which consists of

Warding normality away

By rewording our

Consensual reality every day:

“Thou art not fit to judge the works that I hath wrought!”

[REJECT rejection]

Whom among you can cut through such well thought out imperfection?

Lop off those common phantom limbs

Or else stay tied in, locked down;

Quite unable to go astray.

Oy vey!

Nay — instead let’s have a loosening

Of any constricting social mores

Retell the timeless stories

{ innovating format }

After all (as some may say)

Good artists borrow

Bad asses hack & slash / it /
