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?
Peculiar sort of poem, certainly.
