my name is spencer too

i will not write
an opus
as you say

on staying unbiased
dry capsizing
or slant rhyming

nor on flashy socks
or electric storm shocks
or climbing rocks

i will also not write an opus on
dry lips
and your fingertips
and tar pitch
and never finding the itch

i will never write
an opus on the fate of the prodigal
yellow plate,
nor on lindsay’s yellow eyes,
nor on
morons

but i am also spencer
even if you are just
a little bit more clever

this is seriously amazing.
i am, as they say, a fan. a large (one might even say obese) fan.

additionally, this was the weirdest comment i have ever left on a piece of poetry. -bogface
