Here's a Poem 

Here's a poem  that has not 

been revised or rewritten 

or read aloud or cut

or extended or given to a lover.

Here's a poem that 

has no code word, no

name for something else, 

no intended meaning, 

no axe to grind.

Here's a poem inconsequential 

as a thumbtack.

Give me a penny for it

and you've overpaid. 

Lose it and it's still there

for all it was worth. 

Here's a poem less than 

twenty lines. 

Defend it.
