Writing for non-readers
simplify the concepts
lie about yourself
reference recent events
use big pictures
film your lips
add poppin’ beats
remind them of the test
At the end of the week
shame them
text their mothers
Insist on dessert
kiss them in an intersection

I do defend illiterate writers, but this is an excellent poem.
