Will the villein submit their
villanelles
for journal publication,
or will they say the hell with it?
Will submitting be a sour pill,
or will it be a jubilation,
so that submitting their villanelles
before a selection process won’t feel
masochistic (no publication
guaranteed, whether or not they say the hell with it)?
They just put their pecker on the
chopping
block and make the decision
to submit their bleeding villanelles.
Not that they have a snowflake’s
chance in hell
of competing with Amanda Gorman,
but after Gaga, Garth and J Lo sing, Into the sky with it!,
besides them and us and J Bi, to rule the nation.
So, will the Villein submit their villanelles?
Nah, the hell with it!
