Negation , as a verb
as if there is something to be done
and something to do it
but we all know the nots are already there

You want metaphor?
I point at the shadow of my finger.
The baby opens its eyes and is statistically bathed
in the dim light of Andromeda.
The inkless pen scratches out it's words.

I see, you want the plausible?
The heuristics bores you?
I personally, am standing before this specific tree
on this specific day
and I am staring defiantly towards this specific twig
waiting to see it grow.

It 'aint that I'm teasing you
it just that I've never known a better way.
