If ever

[DJ Ponz]

The old way of talking is no longer yours
If ever there
Was one
It spoke of ready distinction
Ruddy diction, contrary
Motion, the dialectics of
Reason and nature, where reason
Was unnatural and nature
Unreasonable. Listen! See?
It comes back to you
As soon as you try. Try not to notice
Those wobbly wheels

That's right, I found this gem on a bus; poetry in transit.
