.

Even my metaphors are complaining

of too much work. The commas

think they rule and the full stops

are at war with the semi full stops.

a poem without a verb, a comma,

or a period.

It will be a short poem. All the

elements of style are on strike

adverbs, pronouns, or conjunctions.

Taboo are the pepositions as well.

.

Good luck. Oh, bye the bye,

no slipping in gerunds or other

verb forms. We are watching.
