Stick It Up
Sometimes I beat words
I batter & pummel them
stretch them on a rack
& drip water on their foreheads
feel the need to move them,
swap them, kick their heads in

Sometimes the words flood
with force from a mystery source
I the mere scribe scribbling fast
capturing poetry, pinning it down
the work in my hands, not my head.

Compulsive yes, no high purpose.
I may or may not like it but I’m stuck
torturing or capturing an image
regardless of quality or clarity
Don’t like it, o critic? That’s fine!
Stick it up your ars poetica.
