Listen Between the Lines

 
she talks in cursive, mainly,

a third grade throwback

of cursing conversive
 
 
 
that tittles i’s

in hearty

red Caps of

illegible drawl

–girly–

–surly–

& curly

cued

conversation,

overdone in

~looping edicts~

& unnecessary crosses

scrawled, and squalling,

and me without

white space to spare…

white out obsolete,

and X’cised from scripted curriculum.

though

–so

she tells me—

a truly super girl

lost in translation

and her missing booth

in which to change…

a third-rate

spinoff,

& anecdotal antidote

to distract a cryptic Knight.
