Wherein I Try Something New

Can a poem
Be relatable and emotional,
Without alienating most
But still be considered
High art?

Could a poet
Admit
That they know not
The secrets of the earth
And reveal
That they are not
The almighty prophet?

Could a ‘talent’
Fool us all
Into thinking there is depth
In
The
L
A
N
G
(al

U
A
G
E
?

Could a poem
Simply be?
Instead of simply trying.
