Ink Think

The only one
who thinks in poetry
is seemingly me.

(surprisingly)

Perhaps it’s you
who thinks
in broken lines,
metaphors and ink.

But to the rest
I must plainly digress
into lyric rust

For on the shelf
These prisoners ||\|||\
(pioneers)
must sit
until they’re unhinged \_/

Or read aloud
to a half-listening crowd
Seeking
Enlightenment?

By Makar
