of protestations
that we're
all obsessed
with novelty,
it's pattern
that we really seek
and feel the most
at home in.
Rhythm still
gets our motor going,
while rhyme
feels like a cup of sugar
our best words kindly
lend to others.
Is it right
that we derive
so much succor
from design?
If there were
a difference
between right
and common,
would it matter?
