Heteronym Silly Rhyme

a disorienting ditty

“to you this trite poem I present”

artist: Alexandra Levasseur

a minute
of your time, my point will be
minute

a present —
to you this trite poem I
present

I resent
that you missed it — I have just
resent

may I direct
at you my admiration most
direct

do subject
to me, my dearest
subject

and object
not, that was never my
object

I’ll elaborate
my devotion most
elaborate

and intimate
loyalties most
intimate

tear it up
if you must, and don’t shed a
tear

through this ordeal

a closer:
I hope, at least, that
we’ve grown just a wee bit
closer

dear
