Day 151: Overhead

Rejection letter, hi. I wrote this blurb
Strictly for publication intentions:
Starting in 1990, his pretensions
Were sourced from Facebook. True, this adds a verb
Or two ("IM" or "text.") If that disturbs
You, message us to stage an intervention:
Scan down the page to where the author mentions
His dedications.  There, the text reverb-
-erate more normally, providing ed-
-itors with room. . . It doesn't need to rhyme,
You know.  It's just poetic overhead,
So mute the sound and enjoy your one-time-
-only swing-set free of charge. Up ahead,
There's slides to ride and vacant screens to climb.
