everyday another person fights their way though europe
searching for treasure or lost feet
maybe one day theyll learn the truth about salmon

^that was a poem.
who invented poetry? i didnt. and yet somehow i can still write a great poem.
somehow..
poems are so full of poetry though. its kind of sickening. 
remember when you thought poems had to rhyme? like in 2nd grade when they made us memorize that book “Alexander and the Terrible horrible no good very bad day” in between making little versions of ourselves out of paper and reporting on the weather.
oh and dr. seuss. once he died. and we had a funeral for him. i bet he apprechiated that. in some sort of rhyming way.  or maybe dead people cant rhyme.
but fish can rhyme. always. even when theyre not stuck in those six pack plastic things.
native americans probably taught bison to rhyme, right before they killed them all.
too bad. a bison may have been the first dr. seuss.
but then came shakespeare. and all those other people who wrote sonnets. i guess some of them were from italy…? i dont remember. who remembers sonnets.
sonnets have alot of rules. all of which i like to break. 
no A B A B. no quatrains. no couplets. none of the above.
I wont even get into haikus. or those poems where you write one word down the side with a letter to start each line. why is that even a thing. people abuse the expandabitliy of abbreviations. i bet “etc” doesnt approve. neither does NASA.
whos that guy that likes to organize poems really randomly? and not use punctuation? it begins with an E. ah how could i forget.. well. use your imagination.
he should maybe get into typography and out of poetry, so as to stop spreading his poetry too thin. like stretching a tiny piece of skin over a giant drum head.
i rather like having skin.
