A poem approaches
Another in a book,
He's a bundle of words.
Ink rushes downward through
Their letters, her title
Smacks against his while she
Looks straight into his I's
To see if they're dotted
And all his T's are crossed
With punctuation marks
In place on the paper.
Finally, a poem
Leaves a name for himself,
About this poem
