"acute" poems
Every blue patch on the sky keeps an eye, cherishing clouds dancing, hovering over. The songs of deep blue ride the heady air, only to be stunned, all of a sudden, at the first sight— sung down on a perfectly placed mural. The Queen of Sheba tiptoes this way; King Solomon leans to the ground, only to find seas of silent blooms musing, dipping in sun-kissed dews— on gently tilted roses that will not fall, not from this picture-perfect, navel-high! Velvety, the rose rises from the ground; the forever-green Earth hangs low, in the dew on the rose that will not fall. Blossoming, eyeing an acute high, evermore hopeful to scale upward, toward the faraway, awaiting heaven's pool. There, the spotlight does not move— neither north nor south, nor up nor down— until Queen Fathima, the Queen of Heaven, steps on the "as above, so below" slope. There, the newly resurrected Earth will be primed, its minted atoms vibrating beyond bounds, rising, for the first time, atop the navel-high. Perfectly wrapped, the atom's circle finally turns on— the stepping stone that holds no pi-decimal hole. Pure Scientia hangs on the door of Paradise, awaiting the numerically perfect Queen Fathima to step. God willing, she will work in beauty: the most sought-after, perfect works of art— the lost masterpiece, not in translation, but hidden within the pi-decimal abyss of Earth's depth. Lo, the gleaning Sleeping Beauty peeps, trailing the role model Queen. Fathima—the first woman to enter Paradise— walks the walk: perfect, straight, numerically precise. As if she always knew, back from the Earth, of the murals ahead, hanging on Paradise’s wall, mathematically exact! Mirrors of imagination, new wonders on Heaven’s way, etched in the murals at the golden section, navel-high. She zooms past the ever-spinning atom’s perfect span, cemented at the entrance of Paradise. Yet leaves no footprint— for she never did, even on the sublunary Earth. A new wonder blooms in the classic old eyes: oh, Pi, still irrational, still pondering, at the measured, eternal navel-high!

Earth to Heaven: Navel High
Every blue patch on the sky keeps an eye, cherishing clouds dancing, hovering over.

Stumbling into ancient scripts, authored a decades plus ago, ago being a modifier of time quantities, minute or large, unspecific without an objective adjective additive, that faucets a stream of an interlocutory elocution of a batter of rooted emotional histories, but not histrionics fanciful words for dredged up memories, acute, but tarnished, powered yet worn by a cousin of ago, a/k/a, age and yet renews as of, at this very second, as if it were a first, a tumult of visions, swelling of remembrances, embodied scars, and I weep anew but not for me, as much for the resonating simpatico souls with whom they even  now vibrate with resonance of the immediacy of If not now, When? Aside: The exterior environment is noisy wet pelting of thunderstorms and ****** sheets of bulleting rain, piercing projectiles, but I am safe in the sunroom, sadly happy my dog is no longer here to shiver and tremble, cuddle and be soothed by steady stroking But I am here, wrestling with this dredging operation, digging up tons of sand that require dumping, and I ask, inquire, beg: Who will take this detritus off my hands, once more, now uncovered, now recovered, the soil is already soaked and can absorb no more, the soul is already soaked and can absorb no more, the weakened heart, damaged and occluded, suffer cannot bare twice the outrageous misfortune of unbared recollections, twice, or thrice, and I feel myself drowning in revisiting pain, **** **** **** these old poems, not nuggets, but boulders dropping from night skies, shot from a pitching machine, without letup, piercing of agonies that once ago   freshly desecrated and decorated my basic training in humanity. Enough whining: *I wrote those poems to eject out those pains, and I write this now, once more, to realize that so so many still face uncertain and unrelenting similarities, doing their own sums, and I wish them easing, strength to compose and thereby dispose of the ineloquent and eloquent words of staining suffering* 3:30am Thur July 10 2025

running deliquescing into nature i am engulfed in stillness i encounter a deer as i round a corner its chestnut eyes intensely sense something wild within me transfixed we meld palpably whispering our essence myopic views warp into acute focus golden flowers stretch and arch and yawning into the sun swell with bursts of luster whilst violets polka dot the path with lilac luminescence dead tree trunks mutating into masterpieces yearn for new life drawing in the squirrels yellow-bellied birds hover sensing my motions whilst woodland winds undulate pine scented waves of sea salt oceans my ears enchantingly enhanced by bristling leaves caressing trees as scintillating amber butterflies dance in synch with the clock tower’s ancient chiming a gust of wind catches a patch of sand and sends it quivering fusing high in summer air then falling soft as feathers hidden fairies prance about answering unheard questions problems dissolve in emerald meadows without a hint of striving essays write themselves upon my mind poetry flows through me wings of meadowlarks trace my face with nuances interlaced with connotations rushing home i write it down then bowing i take credit for what was etched upon my soul by a sunbeam in the forest ©2016janetaylor

You- you have a lot on your plate and me- I am just pushed in next to the others that weigh you down while you're trying to carry a thanksgiving meal of responsibility and at the same time not be crushed by it- You don't like it when your food touches. So there I am waiting at the edge of all the chaos trying not to step over boundaries or cross the line I am just another thing thrown onto your plate of responsibilities. I am a shadow. A walking disaster. And I try to avoid all the things that are so ferociously trying to bring you back down- but all I do is end up making it worse making all your **** end up touching so it becomes a mountain upon your shoulders that eventually turns into a chip upon it- you have gone concave- you became acute when you were once so obtuse so full of life so 180 degrees out of everyone else's ******* box and I closed you in. Made you realize what you needed to make yourself small so you could eventually fit the plate just right on your shoulders. I try to take the weight- try to pick it all up myself and do something to help you get through but I just end up touching everything- You don't like it when your food touches. You- you are concave in my convex world always looking inside yourself- always hiding away inside of the parts of yourself I will never see because I'm too busy looking outward to find something I can do for you. We are trigonometry- which is the only type of math I was ever good at in school but I can't seem to find the right angle anymore you are too scalene and not enough isosceles there's no symmetry in the way you look at me- there's too many different sides to you. I'd like to think I've seen them all I'd like to think I've solved what degree every angle you feed me turns out to be- but it seems that the angles aren't what I should be finding. You're just a circle- I can find your radius but I don't have enough of you anymore to find your circumference. We will always be abstract.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this Never had I imagined this After I first saw you Sitting in the corner of the coffee shop Sipping tea with a hint of hazel Matching the light in your eyes I used to love that coffee shop One we went back to many times At least at first You would order the same tea With the same hint of hazel And I would adore your acute audacity Ordering tea in a coffee shop I had friends who told me many things They hadn’t been afraid to see the truth Telling me we were moving too fast Not really understanding where we were But instead taking the present to define everything Perhaps I should’ve listened I had thought you were what they describe as ‘The One’ But your brilliance in my life Blinded me of many things I should’ve paid heed to Placing me on the edge of your storm Instead of reaching the eye of it As I should’ve Maybe this is why the movies are fictional They only exist in our lives until the end credits Whereas I lived past them And witnessed the reality Beyond the list of directors, producers, and actors Living in a cycle of after-credits We went to that coffee shop one last time And I looked Looked for that same spark which I had latched on to All those years back But this time I truly saw you, past the light This time you ordered coffee Black, with no hint of hazel

A Hint of Hazel
Remember me as a time of day in the same way you create an acute awareness of the sun beginning to stream through by the ill protective armor of your window. As your alarm goes off in the morning remember me in those moments that you wipe the sleep away from your eyes and vaguely remember your dream which was once your most vivid reality. Remember me like I am three hours past noon and you're reminiscing on the days that once existed when you would be dying to leave the four walls of your adolescent day job. Remember me like I'm the comfort of your favorite jacket you would throw on to protect yourself from the cold, day in and day out. Remember me like I'm 4:45 in the morning and you're in your teenage years contemplating if it's still okay for you to wake mom and dad out of their deep sleep just to go along with your love for Christmas morning. In that time remember me like I'm the peace that surrounded you and the excitement that caused you to lose sleep. Remember me as I'm seconds short of nine in the evening and you sit by the fire awaiting your favorite TV show. In that moment remember me as the adventure you anxiously awaited your eyes to meet, and the shadow of the warmth cast around your feet. Remember me as a time of day through sun up and sun down whether there or not through time will I arrive by regards of the clock and I'll meet your mind as I stand watch.

Remember Me As a Time of Day
Briskly walking with his head ***** Money and treasure, he aims to get He is in a stampede, chasing wealth Acute shortage of ‘humility and gratitude’ Compels him to slaughter a multitude The desire for more than enough It has crystallized and made his heart tough Oblivious about ‘humility and gratitude’ Man agrees to squash the destitute Unaware, that he may face the same fate Even then he piles up his plate When would he be humble and grateful? For the things which make his life blissful… Even while swallowing all that is unlawful He persistently denies being shameful His conscience reminds him of ‘humility and gratitude’ But he refuses to change his haughty attitude Let me remind you that life is temporary Nothing in this world remains stationary Just like dust your stay is transitory These two traits, ‘humility and gratitude’ Can help you to acquire beatitude Don’t forget your final abode Where good deeds won’t be sold Remember, the fables of the brave and the bold All of them possessed ‘humility and gratitude’ From all this, you may conclude It is the purity of our intentions What Creator expects from his creation Everything else is mere illusion Being a human, demands ‘humility and gratitude’

Humility and Gratitude
Scalene Triangle: Here no sides or angles are the same. Isosceles Triangle: Here two sides and angles are same. Acute Triangle: Here all three angles are less than 90º. Obtuse Triangle: Here one angle is greater than 90º. Equilateral Triangle: Here all sides & angles are the same. Right Triangle: Here one angle is equal to 90º. And the most common triangle is... Love Triangle: Here a lover usually cheats on the other. I unluckily have gotten stuck in all these 7 triangles. Never deserved to be cheated but still got cheated. I can not hate them but still, I so often get hated. And the mathematical triangles only bothered.

The Types of Triangles
Goddess of virility suckles me to ****** Her legs stiffen… to acute angles. Toes, ballerina firm make her body—                          levitate from the bed. A smile reveals…fangs the tips of which           are barely…touching                    my ear. The lizard tongue hisses in ecstasy revealing ancient—spiritual…bliss mystics could only            speculate of. Her anaconda legs wrap—         around my back as her fingernails            embed into          my            spine.    When I yank Her hair                     Her             eyes Scream                   inside                out. Our bodies— Swimming             in An ocean      of         ravenous                   Liquids pulsating from       our pores. Sopping hair clings           to our        foreheads         we suddenly realize—                  A new shape is            invented.       We make a sound         so         primal inside each other’s mouth as her jaws snap down to my neck— both bodies rigor-mortis stiffen        as the mountains collapse around us and        the   sky is ripped open      as a tsunami billows down into a wave of exhaustion. The wind cradles us, Back to the earth     We split, Admiring a new continent We created.       Our limp bodies— numb from the velocity and suggestions resign to the crater we call a bed. We smile, simultaneously, looking past our brains, realizing… in         this        moment we, are one.

Compliments to the baker and so too my Barista Smoothest crema on the tongue juxtapose to lemon vapour. Intense acute sensations insist I close my eyes Submit in rare humility in awe of nature's true franchise. Clarion note of citron zest resounds on mellow creamy seas Mediterranean sun distilled now is witnessed here in me. Tempered, rounded bitter hues from Amazonian dark recess waited aeons to infuse and bring about this wanton bliss.

When the moon finally meets it's ceiling Ahh, I wish I could describe the feeling The countryside gives me a terrific peak Early sun illuminates an anacamptic creek The cricket's intuition ends their rhythmic chirp I can see the dew glisten on the grass and the dirt All silence - besides the wind and the bluejay They spin through the sky for a game the two play Warm waves of air push over the hills Goosebumps ensue but I welcome the chills This is a moment that an artist might draw but he simply can't because he's part of it all This is a setting that our memories reluctantly dilute Though recollection of chores are crisp and acute Try as I may - I can not pocket this instant For when the day emerges it all becomes distant

I try to remain calm Simple conversation fuels curiosity My focus is acute I want to be reckless I attempt to seem distant I am hiding Like a predator circling prey I am waiting Leaping prematurely could be costly My hunger justifies risk I want to be reckless Outside influences Compel me to behave appropriately I am screaming Secrets disguised with lies I am hunting myself I want her exposed For I am exposed I am vindictive I want to pull and rip S+rip her of shame I am burning I want to take her in front of the world I want to be reckless © Christopher Chronister.

"Reckless"
Shh, listen. Did you hear it? Its disturbing echo inching down your spine. Its chilling breath at the nape of your neck.   Snaking through my mind, creeping in like fog. Seeping through the floor, spilling secrets like blood.   Sounds of a clock muffled by cotton. Cloaked, it hammers growing louder.   Can’t you hear it? The thumping it emits. Shuddering through my frame, suffocation, blame!   It’s growing louder! Uttering secrets only I know. Acute are the senses that hear its woe.   Pounding away all thoughts, persistent, Its haunts. Shattering midnight it stalks, nightmarish pillow talk.   It grows, my skin pales. louder and louder it wales! A dead man’s heart yells, telling its tale.   Say that I am mad, do you? If only you knew, I hear things in hell, it’s true. Don’t you hear it too?

“A sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.”
looking from below,                                my eyes fix, on your pleasure contorted face, in the acute urgency, of a lush, leafy tree,                              undulating sinuously, in the hands of                            the winds of sensuality, **at the very moment of                                     efflorescence.**

~ each intersection, a crossroad made, every answer, a question began; each wrong, a right opposing, every song, a note composing, after darkness, the light again! angry words won’t heal the pain, apologies like ointment’s rain; flood-washed roads a crossing need, no line in sand, a bridge instead, points me north, your heart to claim! i am no island, though often seems, my pained retreat, a blood trail leaves; i find my greatest strength of all, within your heart’s loving embrace, held firmly in your grip of grace! there is no strength in platitudes, cliches are weak, like worn out shoes; the darkened bank cannot hold sway, o’er lighted bridge that leads the way, points me north, and back to you! ~ *post script. learning something of defense mechanisms, mine in particular;   sadly, when brokenness is too acute to hide, the retreat is not bloodless. bridges built of simple three-word sentences greatly needed ...  not a crafted flood of well-worded, defensive responses. “i am sorry!” and “i love you!”... two, eight-letter, three-cord ropes, requiring no word-smithing, yet are sound-ly engineered for mending souls and building hearts-bridges not easily broken... each capable of bearing (baring) great weights. and yes, there are notes composing here, for it is said, “a song solidifies the heart’s passionate decisions!”*

The mathematician never finished his work today Which is weird because it was the most important project of his career. Working on the equation for the perfect person, left it halfway done. The other half lost in this numerical mind. But that's what we are, two halves of an unfinished project. A slip atom A half of a binomial theorem A parabola at the apex of its' focus, ready to fall right back on its' feet. Because apart we are imperfect, we trip, we fall But when multiplied we are a product of perfection, able to point out that mistaken branch before you have time to brace yourself. I'll take those expanded arms and wrap them around me, feel your acute angles against my obtuse curves. Put my hand on your neck, not to feel your skin, well: to do that too, but also to feel your pulse. Knowing it beats at the same intervals as mine. And no one know why the mathematician never completed the equation. …maybe fell asleep… …maybe distracted… …maybe he just forgot… But I thank him. Because perfect is lonely and you...you are everything. Without him the Y= to my MX+being would never be linear. And I'm not good at math, neither are you, but I'm pretty sure we don't need to look in the back of the book for any answers.

Standing there With a mute stare Amazed by you Paralyzed by you I became a speechless poet No free-flowing words to inhibit Stuck in redundant phrases Running around in silent mazes My bright poetry is suddenly evanescent How did you freeze my precious talent? My fancy lies and my sincere confessions My angry cries and my serene discretions My skill dies distorted by your presence As my voice tries hardly a single expression Then my brain denies your acute aggression As my fixed eyes scream my inner passion Then you left. You left But I stayed there With my mute stare Speechless because of you Brainless because of you My stupidity crystal clear My creativity in denial And you left me here wishing you stayed near Suffering from your withdrawal ~Epic Monkey

She might laugh if she read this at the flat little version of her that lives in my mind. She may laugh at my comparison of her to a hideous sea spider but hear me out it could be touching. David Foster Wallace wrote: *“Since pain is a totally subjective mental experience we do not have direct access to anyone or anything’s pain but our own; and even just the principles by which we can infer that others experience pain and have a legitimate interest in not feeling pain involve ******** philosophy— metaphysics, epistemology, value theory, ethics.” *"[Lobsters] do have an exquisite tactile sense, one facilitated by hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs that protrude through their carapace. Although encased in what seems a solid, impenetrable armour, the lobster can receive stimuli and impressions from without as readily as if it possessed a soft and delicate skin.”* and so “We lift lobsters out of the bag or whatever retail container they came home in …whereupon some uncomfortable things start to happen. However stuporous the lobster is from the trip home, for instance, it tends to come alarmingly to life when placed in boiling water."* As much as I cannot comprehend the pain of the exquisitely tactile lobster in a *** of boiling water, I wonder if I could walk a mile in a lobster’s 8 minuscule shoes and I wonder what it might mean or not mean to her with her armoured yet acute exoskeleton to be back at home with her father. They might try to butter you up or snap elastic bands around your oversized claws and use a wooden spoon to try and nudge your thrashing, clinging arms back into the *** but remember: lobsters can live to be over 100 years old and grow to over 20 pounds in size which is very large for an aquatic insect and remember that they are marine crustaceans of the family Homaridae, characterized by five pairs of jointed legs, the first pair terminating in large pincerish claws. And DFW famously said, “Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.” and he's not a lobster either

Considering the Lobster

thoughts fall with structure and symmetry.... as if whole your life have been drawn using a compass words break in acute angles.... retracing it back to me everywhere i turn, i end up nearing the vertex failing infinite times by squaring the circles... still i cant stop my clumsy thoughts... ellipsing my mind.... finding order in the chaos

**squaring the circle**
i am so distinctly aware that there is only one of you on this fine planet. and because of that acute awareness it's terribly difficult for me to live with the fact that even though i can't live without you, i can never have you and i will never be able to find another quite like you.
