It's said that the
"business of the poet is ... to express feelings
which are not in actual emotions at all"
And this approach we’ll call
stock-market poetry
where emotions may interfere
with our returns
year to year
So that
what finally becomes the goal
is poetry that we know
has been stripped of all emotion
so as to be graphed
And from the graphs
we can judge & criticize
The number of lives
free from emotion
is the prize
And then place such in a bulletin
so all can agree
that it’s the best bet we have
for a future seed.
