poetry is to go beyond
( • ) ( • )
and to enter the sublimity
Of fanciful creation
• •
Thru poetry
We can plumb the depths of superficiality
And enter the world of the truly mundane
Where self created artificial emotions flourish
In the sanctity of ego and it's brother -- pride
//
Poetry is like a perpetual Facebook selfie
An intimate look at virtual nothingness
Uninhibited by any sense of responsibility
Or the foolish societal claims upon us
To // get real //
I came to understand this today when I
Witnessed a bus crash into some child on the street
And **** it
All the phones came out and the pictures were taken
Posted and going viral
The excitement was so real
Everyone trying to get their picture taken with the grieving mother
Who was Center Stage for the first time in her life!
People were lying down in the street with the corpse and taking selfies
It was a true celebration of what is real
People were ******* and cheering and loving
And having such a good time
IT WAS PURE VISUAL POETRY
and
DEAR FELLOW POETS
It reminded me of you !!
Love without the limitations imposed
By vain morality and modesty
Life without some pompous *** telling us
What is fit or not fit to explore
We are just bodies !
We are pure art !
Thru poetry we can delve into the complete emptiness
Of meaningless experience
And raise it to the heights of enlightened vulgarity
We can raise simple uncomplicated exploitation
Of others
Into the grandest expression of total eternal love
We can talk majestically of touching someone's hair
Or neck or genitalia
And show it's superiority to that of knowing someone's soul
We are gods and goddesses of the sublime manifestations
Of dying in pain
Numb to the oblivion of the gathering
Of the holy tribes
We have entered the mystic realm of sheer
And perfect triviality
Where life is hardly noticed within the noise
WE ARE THE POETS !
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US !
EVERY ONE !
