Analysis of My Prose Will Flow
I go to the gym most every day,
my fountain pen in hand
My curls and dips move line to line,
I press as words expand
My repetition sorely felt,
more weight I need command
And through these veins my prose will flow,
—verse flexing on demand
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
