Contributor Series 6: A Currency of Words
Word for Word
By Ivan Jenson

Earth
means the
world to me
and I love
love
and hate 
hate
but
could
care less
for carelessness
and negativity
has a negative
effect on me
I don’t
want to
want
and it
hurts
to hurt
so I
walk 
the walk
and talk
the talk
take
each
day
a day
at a time
and
it ain’t
over
til it’s
over
and the plus-sized
lady sings

Ivan Jenson’s most recent poem to appear at vox poetica was It’s not too late (August 2010).
