Rolled stone.

Letter by letter by
Word by space by line
By inconclusive line, and left
By right by rhyme, if rhyme applies.
Unstoppable sentences with
Punctuation dropped altogether,
Attached to paragraphs on
Pages turned and chaptered.
Parts divided equally and
Surrounded by introductions
And conclusions - pros and epilogues.
Bound on three sides by
Front and back and spinal
Material, covered in colours
With untold corrections, pixel
By manipulated pixel, until full.
Then thrown towards an agent or
Paraded around the internet to
Be forced upon uninterested masses;
Promoted, prostituted, vended in
Vain until reduced to resting in
The bargain bucket, two for one
Book club, superstore loss leader,
Market hall trader, car boot sale.
Then started all over again at the
Foot of a steeper hill.
