Something Unseemly

There’s something unseemly

About my new day job

Doing precisely

What it is

I most

Want and

Believe


By which I mean to say

In order to succeed

As a post-modernist poet

I must always

Remember

That many things

Including words

Are never quite

What they seem


Thus departing

From the world

Of mere appearance

And no matter the origin

I must cleave the root and

Try to find new meaning

Unseemly though it may be
