Poem, "Exotic Word"

Exotic Word

You're an exotic word

Auto-correct just keeps trying to rewrite you as something else

Because it is a tool of semi-literate barbarians

You're the right word in a poem that is only half written

Letters traced invisibly

Like the cursive movements of a finger

Pulled, turned, and twisted over bare skin

You're not a typo

any more than a tan line or freckle

is a form of punctuation

There is only one punctuation mark

I would look for with you

an exclamation point
