Gray words on the page, drawing me in
To your spell
May I use you, argue with you
Make my case
Or are you worthless tripe
Drivel wasting font and ink
Needed for ego of the JUSTICE
Venting and spewing
Bile and rhetoric –
Numbing rhetoric,
Numbing rhetoric
Hurting my eggshell cranium/psyche.
Hiding the true
Gist, the nub of it
That I need
For next time,
So I can argue
And win.
(Raymond A. Foss)
