the seed people strain to restrain types of fruit

the designer engrosses the grossness of his suit

the genomer comber combines and corners new waves

the indigenous now covet paintings found in caves

trademarks distort the enjoyment of words

the online heirdom the realm of the nerds

but blessed is a writer

for poor words or fine

who strings them together

as grapes on a vine

should you pick them and tread them

and taste and opine

the culture is yours

but the profits are mine
