[ On Poetry ] Jacks and Jills

 
Speaking for myself  
I want to read spills    
bursting from the dam  
poet, carrying me away  
in their sudden displacements  
of my Life's current  
volume  
   
Don't leave me puddled up  
as a fishy flopping around  
on the ground gasping    
for what fills these gills  
---pour your heart    
and soul through them  
   
but only if you're hills-  
ide's inclined to do so  
   
It's not like    
you don't have the time  
and anything better    
to do with it  
   
unless it thrills you to have  
gullible readers hooked on  
fetching your water by the pail  
eager to bail your sorry bass out
