no haikus ever

i don't like the idea of pruning my prose
like it's some kind of bonsai tree
like it's something that has to become polished, pretty, beautiful, even
there were two good examples of that in this stanza alone

the first was that "pruning my prose" nonsense
did i mean to make it alliterative?
not even, it's just that those were the proper words
"polished, pretty"
same thing
i'd rather just be honest about the words that i use
they're the honest ones

or maybe i just get off on making people pronounce hard Ps
hard Ps for everyone
forever
