Erasure (#10/30)

[today one of the prompts I found was to find a short poem and delete every fourth word and then make your own additions. The poem I chose is called "Why we ask you not to touch" by Charles Bernstein.]

Human emotions and jealousies

leave a projective toxin over the poems,

cursing them, difficult to save.

Careful readers maintain a fearful

distance from the fray in order

to frustrate distortion-free comprehension

and avoid battling the meaning.
