Absolute

Another weird one from the master of weird poetry...where the words come from I know not, but let them keep coming is all I got to say...

ABSOLUTE”


 


Nothing is able to compete with something


Although it can make a duet


Expedient for miles of fluff


But for hell’s aroma of soot


Excellent in armored guilt


Belligerent in silken rainwear


No king too strong nor, queen so week


As to legitimize a son of organic prose


Found your broken dreams on tour of duty


Here and there you loss is discovered


Beyond broken wishes of grandeur


No doubt to all in prayer


Shortened of life but gaudy in death


All we need is fruitless abstinence


By our standard not in pieces


But in all-powerful chagrin


An awful glance of derision


Blown up to tremendous proportion


Expects no authority to cancel plans


How to retain one’s sanity is the problem—


In this escapist atmosphere


Worn to the nub of an axle’s strength


All reduced to trashy birth


Rise again, you experts in curiosity


If for no other reason than to herald a new world


 


    ?FROM WHENCE COMETH?

Instead of wierd, perhaps you should go with dada-esque! Good opening, but the second stanza steals away some effect for it, "Although" meaning it makes it exclusive on one hand.

Peculiar sort of poem, certainly.
