Here I sit with a pen 
trying to compose the words, 
develop a flow, 
conceptualize a theme 
for the purpose of reading
comprehension, maybe, 
or a  sense of personal satisfaction. 
Will it make sense, pull in the reader, 
provoke anger or tears.
The reason for writing is all of these, 
but the object of my prose 
lies within the beaten
path of irony.
