Question

How do the words used to describe the poem’s arrest help contribute to the idea that the arrest in the poem is unjust?

This poem will be guilty. It assumed it retained


the right to ask its question after the page


came up flush against its face. The purpose


this poem serves is obvious, even to this poem,


and that cannot stop the pen or the fist


choking it. How the page tastes at times—unsalted


powerlessness in this poem’s mouth, a blend


of that and what it has swallowed of the news. It spits


blood—inking. It is its own doing and undoing.


This poem is trying to compose itself. It has


the right to remain either bruised or silent,


but it is a poem, so it hears you’d be safer


if you stopped acting like a poem, ceased resisting.


Where is the daylight (this poem asks and is


thus crushed) between existence and resistance,


between the now-bloodied page and the poem?


Another poem will record the arrest of this poem,


decide what to excerpt. That poem will fail—


it won’t find the right metaphor for the pain


of having to lift epigraphs from the closing


words of poems that were accused of resisting.


That poem is numb. This poem is becoming


numb, already losing feeling in its cuffed phrasing.


No one will remember the nothing of which


this poem was accused—just that it was another


poem that bled. This poem never expected to be


this poem, yet it must be—for you who will not


acknowledge the question. This poem knew


it was dangerous to ask why?
