Agitate
A slightly overweight
middle-aged man
my weapon of choice
is my keyboard.
I write to agitate.
I hope my readers are entertained,
but I also hope their brains
get a little action in the process.
A slight jog,
maybe a few push-ups.
I’m not asking for a decathlon.
Sure, I’d like them
to share in my conclusions,
but I’m not delusional,
so I challenge those who disagree
to sheath their tongues.
(The mouth’s floppy mass
frequently ignores
messages from the skull.)
Convince me I’m wrong
with the written word.
