Untouched Porridge: The first poet


There is much debate to this effect. An effect so old, predating art.
It is this which I dissect. This, in its possible parts:

Who wrote which words which weigh
alone, the heaviest in our minds?

Who wrote them first, I wonder,
he who heralded them as heavenly sighs?

That coin-tossed winner won the privilege
Of writing ANY words to suit his image.

Now us ravaged hunters endlessly forage
For forbidden fruits and perfect porridge.

--------------------------

I wrote this piece in response to another writer. The piece I was reading was trite, and bored me to tears, but I couldn't tell him that. I felt obligated to tell him that he wrote something anyone writes. I hope I didn't hurt him.
