Could The Vile It Truly Be A Bad Word



this may or may not be true

but some of us the other day

heard that the little insignificant

according to anyone who wishes

to be identified by the limits of

the paradigm of their minds that

the word "it" might soon become

a banned word from the vernacular

so when we speak of any designation

we will simply say when neuter was tall

or neuter was small neuter didn't call any

of neuter's pets by name for neuter didn't

want to cause any trauma or shame to be

placed on rats rabbits or poisonous snakes

rather desiring to walk around in habits of

purely fantasized fabricated & manipulated

by demons goblins & ghosts in charge of

Hollywood's Goat to remain intact & afloat

About this poem

cycles come & hopefully go Every generation has its difficulties with new marvels to cogitate on and to honestly, sincerely and truthfully overcome.
