Wandering expositions

Poetry has many inspections

each line remains re-touched;

we frown at fingered collections

of nouns and other stuff.

There are troublesome inflections,

and bleeding, wrung-out verbs-

the wandering expositions

of rhymes the metre serves.

There are stand alone conjunctions

in hope that it amazes

where

in solitude it functions

in contrived schematic phrases.
