Poem Artwork

 

Needle skipping wildly
Dust engulfs the stylus
Time to condescend
Shallow laughter
Morphed intelligence
Reason
Seems to fade
Methodology
Crashing in on protocol
To write about it
Makes coherent sense
But then again
Who dictates logic?
My best work
As good as those who comprehend
True enlightenment
Forbidden zone to some
A step closer to heaven
For us who disagree
Clever performance
Fades with rapid listlessness
All eyes on Orion
Or was it idol fever
I marvel at frivolity
Glib response
To social recompense
Medicine
Modern human intervention
Feeble application
Yet we fail to control the wind
Lone candle
Lights my storied path
Esoteric
So it is
In 2009
God’s mercy
Leaves me weak at times
Melts my macho arrogance
I feel dark advances
Rape
Pillage
Plunder
Soon you shall be gone
No memory of your visit
The show rambles on
Despite my limp unease
