Poetry: “Fine Print”

Dale Schellenger

Fine Print

Do I accept conditions that may change
Without notice? Particularly those?
I balk. The contract’s terms are way too strange.
“I accept conditions that may change
without notice”: eight words disarrange
Logic. Loudly, so every lawyer knows:
I don’t accept conditions that may change
Without notice. Particularly those.
