the last word

art for art's sake
some call it avant-garde
some others, sur-real
words for words' sake?
not quite
words, these words
with meanings imbued
apparent, masked
some words
make poetry
others make prose
some words rhyme
some others don't
some words argue
others win the argument
words, these words
i use here
to share the joy
of someone else
having the last word


right. i must be off now. have a date with Al-jazeera. the Politics Society at my college is screening a documentary on the news channel. and i can't afford to miss it!
