[ NaPo 2017 ] Poetician, Heal Thyself

       
Unfettered, free to post      
whatever you consider to be    
poetry    
     
What's your argument?    
That you are somehow crippled---   
aren't being allowed to express yourself    
artistically?    
     
The only factual case of censorship    
actually taking place here is you    
wrapping up your own    
face hole with bandages    
in childish protest over
a fractured contention bone    
that doesn't even exist    
in your body of work    
     
Feel thyself through self examination---    
there is no shackle around your throat    
or linked restraints on your wrists    
keeping you chained down to the bed    
     
Notice how easy it was    
to wave your arms    
and shake your fists    
and do that silly mummy thingy    
with your silly head?      
     
Is this really the kind of attention      
you were hoping to get?    
     
Poetician, heal thyself      
     
by freeing thyself from these    
surly bonds of surreality    
     
Not ever again    
will I be able to take you seriously      
     
unless you awaken from this self induced coma    
as life continues going on without you
