No tyranny remotely
Painful as the tyranny
Of syntax. Brutality
Isn't even brute until
Proper grammar makes it so.
Those bipedalists who first
Spoke invented law and crime.
All of us since are lawyers,
Lawyers, and court recorders,
Duly noting boasts, ripostes,
Bon mots, blood oaths, and the hosts
Of losers loath to conform,
Recidivist solecists,
My nonsensical forlorn.
