"___"

To avoid casual

or everyday -isms,

I remain silent.

“___”

The versicles in

my head speak scripturéd cant

for our own epoch.

Tweet me no tweets, Ham,

Thou son of Gammon, father

of snowflakes, begone!

Speak not of others,

or others shall say to thee,

“yea, okay boomer!”

Verily, I am

sickened unto death of the

calling of names, child.

And the folly of

man that passeth our belief

be upon us all.
