(Listen to "Hyperlinking")

Hyperlinking

Dedicating myself to the forms intertwined

Predicating their wealth by performing the rhyme

To be heard, rather found, to be linked in contortions

For the words ‘number sounds in distinct disproportion

Once availing themselves to be twisted and turned

Never failing do delve into listeners earned

So I might bend your ear to straighten my mind

And append what is nearly innate to the blind—

I require but attention for a twinkling or two

And aspire to ascension hyperlinking with you.

If it’s linear listing of verse you insist

And no more of this twisting, inverting the list,

I concede and supply this catalogue plain

So your reading these rhymes requires no strain
