I Read Poetry Because

I read poetry    
because I have    
a short attention span    
    
I would prefer to read screams  
but find them too dense to unravel    
with my stubby mind  
   
so I stick to poetry  
as the next best    
most concise form    
   
of guttural communication.  
I like guts – Guts-R’-Real –    
one step away from a scream.
