I don't want you to read this poem -
just pass it by as if you were
on the road in a vehicle
with time only for a glance,
and wonder what it might have said,
wonder how it came to be at all
today, from a different era.
Does this look appealing?
Without even having reading it?
Is the shape of this
more appealing, than say, an advertisment?
A newspaper article? A status message?
Has stuff written in this shape,
ever said anything, meant anything,
added anything to you?
Well then, it would not be a complete
waste of your time
to read some of these.
Not this one, but better and beautiful,
written by those who, the only thing they did
was write these.
