FLUENT COMMAND

by Shaun Lawton  


Cursive's rules
its loops and curlicues
reveal a lot about us.
Perhaps its best we lay 
it to rest, buried along 
with the worst
of our secrets 
and plotting and lies 
a nice clean typography
will better keep us in line. 
It's fine, don't worry 
the quatrains
will be running on time
everything kept under strict control
while the sinuous, inveterate signature 
of our blossoming
gets rectified by 
autocorrection 
with machine-like 
precision.
Farewell to 
our sensuous rhythm. 
Welcome the fascist rule
