Just One Answer
By Ashley O’Hare
Excessively long words
do not strengthen your point.
Congratulations on your purchase
of the Oxford English Dictionary,
but that has nothing to do with me.
I did not need an essay
perfectly edited in MLA format.
I needed answers;
straightforward answers.
So skip the bibliography
and give me what I need.
We cannot continue this song and dance.
I have deliberately forgotten the choreography,
so let’s skip the hoops
and circle back to the main point.
To the root of our problems.
With an answer, we can solve them.
If you loved me,
why did you break me?
