the copyright is necessary at the end of every poem

as a statement of being and being copyrighted by

the poet who spilled ink, blood, sweat, tears into

the poem now read. if there is no copyright, then

there is a chance that the poem will be free and

loose, which is not proper or becoming of a poem,

to fraternize and carouse with others or another

without the demarcation of a copyright, like some

grand wedding ring or bridal mark to declare the

infidelity of the whole affair. thus, we must apply

a copyright to every poem ever written because

to fail to do so is to fail to account for the relations

obtaining between poet and poem, which is one of

deep and abiding fecundity, requiring the fidelity

of concrete commitment like a copyright symbol.
