State of the Art

You like those poems
Americans write
where some lines
are just
one
word

Emphasis

And nowadays
it’s all the rage
to write poems
with slashes/which
really have no/
purpose/that
a line break
wouldn’t achieve.

And as for rhyme…
No one’s allowed
to use that
except
Performance
Poets
who force in rhymes
where they’re not/needed
making their poems
cheesy as fuck
like a duck who’s
outta luck and
down to the last buck…

Musicality?
If you like your /music
obvious.
Bubblegum in 4/4.

And while we’re
on that subject
what’s a metaphor
for?
Beats/ me
