Read this today in my Performance Poetry class
Enjoy!
My Crow, Soft Word
you were my favorite
grammatical error
no matter how much I tried to fix you, you just kept
popping
up
on my page as incorrect
I kept typing you in over and over in different orders
and you still came up in Spell Check
I gave my all.
Placing my brackets around places I never put them before
Inserting your comma within my quotation marks
Entering and back spacing
entering and back spacing
ENTER
BACK
SPACE
SPACE, TAB, SHIFT, SHIFT, ALT,
CONTROL
RETURN
until my fingers hurt
My friends said, "This is a fragment, consider revising"
But I begged to differ
I was determined to mold you into the perfect phrase
I tried everything that i could yet
you still had that little green squiggly line dwelling underneath you
you really began to piss me off
you were the one thing ruining my life's masterpiece
so i decided maybe my memoir was better off with out you
and miraculously
all my problems were over once i hit that button.
DELETE.
