metaphors
are so fake
they’re always
putting on the dog, &
oh my God, they do!
similes
are just copycats
(like, metaphorically speaking)
and analogies
allude–
too dodgy to say what
they’re really about
circling foliage instead
parallel fencing, they keep most meaning out
–trees garden-fresh, though!
(en garde)
and allegories
are just pets
something that
stroke-stroke-strokes
facts
into half a façade
which partial stories,
house
medallion-wearing tenets
–whose accent
obscure
things too difficult to say
