                                         Diptych

​

Rhyme causes an uptick               

in cryptic synaptic                           

links from the lips’                           

and fingertips’ haptic                     

to the concept, an analeptic         

for food for thought,                  

to attempt a quick metaleptic  

trope. Dip a dipstick

into the mental tank.     

Rhyme is an inept tic 

with merely optic

value like lipstick,

deserving a skeptic

like squares in the ecliptic

or a jazz club,

to adopt a kind of sylleptic

trope. Dispatch it

into the septic tank.
