How every fool can play upon the word

How every fool can play upon the word!
How every fool can devise a scripture
with which to troll the world! I don't believe
there's anything here but rude rhetoric

and fallacious arguments. The sophistry
of the postmodern, the noisy decadence
of rhythmless fiction. How can every fool
spill out his breath undisciplined? I cannot

make excuse for this tripe, the awful tropes
and repetitious sloganeering. How every fool
can trick the world, become the charlatan

of a gross ideal! Yet, the illiterate,
the unlearned, the inarticulate possess
a wisdom that is beyond all poetry.
