Down in the Dirt v049

IAMBIC

G.A. Scheinoha

��Are you the illegitimate child of poetry; the bastard son of a prose father and a metrical mother, who was conceived in the wee hours of a verse drunk night, when they’d both had a few too manypentameters for their own good?
��Have you been spurned as too prosy; all lean, muscular verbs and nouns with no natural rhythms of your own? Wish I had better news.
��No, don’t do that.
��I hear you pop open the revolver, spin the cylinder, drop each round in place. Hey, quit aiming already.
��Wouldn’t it be great if I could say you’ll grow out of it. The way a foal eventually gains its legs and trots with the herd. But we both know that ain’t you. . . or me. Some things you just gotta learn to live with.
��Whad’ya mean, run? Don’t shoot! I’m only the messenger.
