Notes Toward A Theory Of Composition
the constant of fluxation
truth merely a moving power
mortality merely mereness
a genuine body
sincere energy
a spiritual purpose
quarks, leptons, bosons, berryyawns. mesons
lead to electrons, electronic, electric, energy
this too is a syntax
letters, words, phrases, sentences & soforth
syntax added meaning unfolds
the human becomes
a life lived with intelligence, patience and whimsy
unfolding
like a lily
syntax sails a real world
but only one of many
mind without cause is a noisome thing
it is possible that your ears will bleed
meanings
diverge
for
different
readers
there is really only one sentence per reader
for each line only
one proper break
or silly jabber
becomes toxic tropes
it can take days to understand one idea
I have never understood the
significance of garter belts
proceed with addition
let us go then you and I
out beneath the weeping sky
and attempt to make something new
from what has been
Allow the brain's raw edge
to blow away the fluff and
bore down to pure syntax
unadorned.
most ideas are only nostalgia
writing on the computer
an imaginary ribbon types back
purge the fluff
blow away the frills
what really remains?
Culture?
the moaning and bleating
of cattle from a
moving truck's ***
doomed
consider all poetry
a Lost and Found of consciousness
plagiarism an invention of
lady freshman English teachers
with withered ******* seeking job security
oh poets of the world
find your lines here
be glad they were chosen
no longer in old ink frozen
made new made new made new
Born Again!
(can i get an amen...)
the Poet appropriates and incorporates
making the old new
oh! bursting creation!
fresh fire from fallen twigs
make it new! make it new! make it new!
(old ez bombastic but on point)
everything you
imagine is possible
alphabet, words, syntax = narrative
narrative the only reality
and you are The Magus
with power to create
but this calls for courage
again it is an alphabet
making a word endowed
by syntax with meaning
meaning as always
just one of so many
possible realities
created out of lack of time
if there were world enough and time
you could embrace multitudes
you could spasm out
a plethora
of galaxies nebula planets
only cursed by time
is limitation introduced
know the silent voice of the gods made visible
find the Center of Self
just what is and no more
sentence
syntax
skein
unravelling back to the Source
we are more
than we can ever be
