What is 'the a' (uh)?
Is it 'the apple' or 'an apple'?
Is apple on
'a desk' or 'the desk'?
Apple, desk, Uh, a
Perhaps it is better as
'a the'? No, 'the a' most
definitely. But, then again:
should ‘the a’ acknowledge
‘a’ as the subject of its own
sentence? No, most definitely
‘the’ is more deserving.
Perhaps 'the' equals signifier, perhaps
'the''s are simply grander than
'a''s, Uh, ah, 'the a', then again:
‘an’ has a definite outcry
for those pesky vowels, but
whoever remembers ‘an’ when
‘a’ is a viable option? ‘the’ fights
both, three on two, three on one
Until “the” and “a”—
“the a” stands once more
Please, “a”, “the” don’t fight
for attention. I promise you,
I’m “the” only one
paying “a”-ttention.
