Rhythm

Rhythm?
Never had much use for it
-- Maybe ‘cause I’m white.
I am adept at using simple syllables,
But I guess that isn’t right.
I should pair words like alliterate
With masturbate – sorry, Freudian slip,
But the words are multi-syllabic
And that makes my rhythm more hip.

There’s the speaking voice, too.
What I mean is, do I deliver the words
With the passion of birds
Who sing for the dawn’s red hue?
Of course, that’s not the best example
As birds are quite simple, and their song
Is awkward and random.
I should speak more like a jackhammer
Whose tandem handles rock and sway
With a rhythm that never gives way
And I can pound my meaning into
The mental ground of a nation weaned on
Rhythm.

Sight is an always awful beginning
