that vast land a wanderer's dream to wonder to ponder in awe a~mazed
like spiderwebs lineages of pearls falling cascading
a land of invisble boundries boudaries unlimited ideas limitless exploring branching
like a woman's thoughts tree branches no time no space the melting of Dali's clocks
a land of no beginnings no middle endless images endless
like the vortex spiraling inward downward voidless
This poem was originally written in a tree branching, spirally down the page format. Unfortunately I cannot capture that appearance here.
Inspired by Gertrude Stein's The Geographical History of America
