These are the things that cause confusion: an anti-poem.


These are the things that cause confusion.

When people

with pretensions

write phrases

that are short

and stacked

the one

on top

of the other

so that when

you read it

the breaks

create pauses

that get

mistaken

for gravity

and then 

call it ‘poetry’

we’re in trouble.
