pointed By Amy Shelver

pointed,
everything you
write pricks
the atmosphere
and plumbs
the poison
well of hell.

torture!

like a bonsai master
papyrus into parabola
paraphrase to paralyse.

gifted master
with down-side in
parasol plumbing
phallic reverse
pricking.

pay attention!

the patient student
likes to piranha.
