HELVETICA

HELVETICA

poem writes
itself

poem
writes me

writes me
cursive

writes me
in helvetica

writes me run on
writes me
end-
stop

writes me
as I cannot
write myself

quoting Barthes
so
  pardon
my French

comme or
sans
   serif

in strict
disciinarian font

or comic topography
to show
    everything of
gravitas

is
ultimately ironical
