Poem Artwork

An elapsed eclipse

has dwelled

amidst a red glowed  tune I mixed up with the moon and not the sun

as correctly as a mistake is seen the same

    wrong twice

     once right nightly

        correctly expressing my dissention

          with a logically bound edition

            I hope put away in detention

              at farmers Greys-Boys Home and jail

                a forth mile and a quarter laps from

                   the central bank

 

 

     ....and suddenly 

             a speaking answer  answered.....

         "I also was right and a professing professor

              also had answered the  same thinkling

                 thinking that I  was wrong.

                 in the exact same sense

              but not historical context

                 when I was asleep in the hay"

And I replied

"exactly what do you mean "

      "in the in-between is

            neither a void nor a parnoid notion

           of even an ocean

           that can be asociated

           and projected as a space

          where

         the sun or moon  might lay

              as i did in a field of dismayies

          when I thought this through

           at night

             the same as you are speaking to me alone at day

              some answer to your question that had been sleeping elsewhere

        full of light

 though

         it had been at night

              in order 

              for order

               to concur with my answer

which has     

no preliminary assumptions in the posing or reposing

     I 'ad been habituated to 

         As english has no corresponding word for siesta

         and no word to say whether my  labors weren't labors

         to think of an answer so far in the astray

         where in resides no bank

               no cash in my pay

                    on payday

And where were you at that time of day?

  ......At a thoughtfull

            reflecting

          corresponding

               bank?"

  So neither of us can be right nor wrong

      Just a matter of money and a song about money

      Should anyone ask a bank

And depending on whether they are all at lunch or on break

Or at home in the hay.

 

   In my opinion

         (If its'opinion you respectfully speak):

           As opinion cannot relate to a bank

           No more  than a tomatoe talk to a patch

           No less than a tomatoe talk with a patch

          but

            Only  with a patch of hay.

Reviewed by Sandie May Joyce
Reviewed on April 24, 2008
A same name bank could be having lunch, while another same name bank could be close for business at the end of the day at another location another time zone.

Same earth sharing space that occupies the sun and the moon. We both could be looking up to the sky at the same time, but one of us see the moon, and the other see the sun.

The logic of the matter is we can ask the sun and the moon the same question, but we might get different answers.
