The True Poet
by Guardian Angel One

I hate my words.
I watch them sit there,
unmoving, unbending.
They don't flow, they don't stand for anything.
They are merely particles for my whim, objects
to use.
They are accessorized, packaged, and labeled.
They cannot be personalized or choose their owner.
Incapable of attitude, incapable of choice.
What sad creatures we use to display our
affection.
I regret that I use them
And take comfort that I can.
