"War of Words"
by Jeph Johnson
combatant bitter utterances incite vocabulary riot.
words grenade!
exploding letters fly like spilled alphabet soup.
casualties voice cries wounded.
three dots trail off...
like gunfire...
...rat-a-tat...
illiterate cleansing.
obscenity destroys by crossing out and censor.
a typo with my sword.
ink fuels this firestorm
and what I write wins the fight.
