Rejection
This sensation
we're talking about
is felt palpably
just now
as you graze
across me
looking for
an X
to grind
into a
write
that stood
composed,
once, and
is thus made
disorganized;
True the critic
must discard,
uncontested,
we know it
in fact of Life,
and Fiction even,
as I write;
And again
as you read,
summarily...
Readied
to deny a
single
stroke of
approbation
on grounds
of insufficient
Appeal...
Should you
pause here
to wonder,
at the autobio
of this thing...
the Rejection
on which
we've teetered...
it is so much so
as to arrest
us both
in the center
of the I...
the inner
palpitation
of a rhymeless
rhythm that
carries on
like a grieving
widow with
a heart
that flutters
backward
and forwards
in a conviction
to fit a mortal!
"Anxiety attack,"
the good doctor
will scribble
in the notepad,
and prescribe
..a stimulant
or barbiturate
...depending on
the pinnacle
at which
we've stopped
mentally
disputing
...our contact
dismissed
at the end
of this period.
