#PoetryFactory

Part 2 of the application process
Is an impromptu verse & to demon-
Strate a grasp of The Latin.
What would they do
Down at the old poetry factory
I ask, or was it a plant?
How many & how ta11
Would be the stacks
Where so many poets while away?
What colors would the clouds
Churn against a perfectly
Sky-blue sky today?
Would mirth & misery be imported
Or manufactured on site?
Are Metric tools required or S.A.E?
How would quota be counted?
Would a number of words of
A poem be quantifiable
Or rather the image quality
Of the pictures it projects?
If a picture is worth
A thousand words &
A sixty three word verse
Threw a dozen or more pictures
Would a per-word payscale
Compensate the poetry worker
In any way
For the other
Eleven thousand
Nine hundred & thirty seven words?
Would it be more profitable
To be a photographer paid by the word
Or to be a poet paid by the picture?
Are there incentives
For filling an entire page?
Are there templates?
Is there a penalty for breaking free?
Could the most prolific of poets
Opt to be        instead
Paid by the pound?
Would there be fresh coffee?
Would a worker be
Contractually obligated
To answer the phone?
Because if no & if so
Count me Out
To Lunch ergo
