I'd entertain you with a poem,

But I've lost your attention.

Because poems don't move or make a noise,

They don't offer the instant gratification that you desire.

They don't stroke your ego with a plethora of praise.

They've lost their generational appeal.

Words, in their fine black and white

Must be strung together by master craftsmen,

To claw at the boundaries of your attention.

A master craftsman I am not.

But the only way you'd know that is if

every thing they've said about you is wrong.
