Analysis of Cold And Never Hot
Some Poets use big words
to try and go
where they’ve been banned
And wander esoteric
into notions
barred to them
They layer on the verbiage,
hoping to become
what they are not
And bastardize the language,
running cold
and never hot
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
