The onus is upon us poets, as you know ; the squeeze is on. In the same way Salinger's Teddy tells us exactly where he is sick & tired of poems telling the sky what to do with our flash in the pan.
As if a little sadness & portentous ambiguity is all the fragile vessel of the lyric doth instill. Onerous
the boner of embarrassing forthrighteousness, I think not. Better to remain the annoying, unworried & squawking infantile messenger at midnight forever croaking: " Nevermore." Overheard,
underfoot, ignored, the noisome unnewsworthy nuisance, the truth; Brothers & sisters, blink your response ! Once for whatever, twice for why not ?
Looks like a captive audience. Yer better off having a conversation with yer answering machine, Worm.

Repartee, of course, seemingly internally generated along the lines of a left-handed smoke shifter.
The non linguistic items have elements of the rebus. Think of "Beau" Nash & John Wesley meeting
on the narrow pavement. Nash was brusque. "I never make way for a fool," he said. "Don't you? I always do," responded Wesley, stepping to one side.
