to be a poet

            a poet he says

a poet uses parenthesis

                  ellipses

 

yes      the publishers

            the publishers will print poems

            (poems rich in parenthesis)

                                                    he explains

how we go

                                inside                                     outside

 

and ellipses…

 

            (well I can’t remember what the laureate said about

ellipses)…

 

            because I laughed so hard       I choked

when he flailed his hands about

            like that sci-fi robot

            trying to explain how published poets

            always get poems printed

                              with

                        (parenthesis)
