the treadmill makes
words sublime mundane
all captured in
their touchless frame

the stop fully caught
on its own crook
keeps dragging on
with backwards look

to catch the circle
to tame the tongue
to sing old words
best left unsung

i won't be stopped
in your correct halter
politically mangled
by the word "alter."

(for Rogan Lee)
About the use of certain words, offensive to some, reclaimed by others.
