WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE
What’s the difference between poetry and lyrics?
Are lyrics intended to be enjoyed in a 78 Ford Pinto?
Are poems intended to end up on Pinterest
as a graphically designed meme?
Some some guy umpteen years ago
straps on his armor and sharpens his sword
what does he want to hear?
AC/DC, or free verse from the university system?
I really don’t know anymore
what excellence is, or needs to be,
or who is in charge, but I have guitars
and love music for cars, bars, and twinkling stars.
