Righting Rite

No English major,

I spell magically.

intuitively.

with extreme alpha’bet

and reading method

that can only be called

deconstructive,

I see more than
 
 
charms in characters

signposts in words

stories in verses

–I see alternate reality—

not make believe

but belief made

entirely

from scratch–

–chickenscratch

and that’s why

it’s best to forgo

vexing.

And hexing

and otherwise cursing

beyond 4 letters, I mean,

since writing itself

is the abra

cadabra.

the incantation,

and potent spell

that changes

heard and crier

from

sheep,

to wolf,

and back again.
