Poem Artwork

Metabolic

  anabolic

which

  moving wall

  moves

instead  

  of a clock ticks

differently

     the same way

depends

    hung where

         on which is whose wall

 

While we all take a inertial trip

     based on point of view

       and a clock some where

            that has the same common time

                    if nature had wound it

         but

                 I says what time  what time it says

              

Destruction

  instruction

  construction

    a numerificitional

         confusion

of whose

at work and

whose

sitting around thinking

           - moving us around

 

Chain gang and force

    horse

      and a car ride

       to  a

          dinner for two

money

dont matter

if I cant cook

without getting up

   from bed

 

         it"s all relative to the other guy

              money dont matter if the foods not good

    a matter of whether money matters or not

                      and things that cant be brought

is all anyone sees to think

 

Why build an atomic clock

  if the cost would feed a million bucks

     without getting up

    not to mention

            my own hungary wallet

                  eats money

                      cant cook either

                            but I'd sure be up

                                  from bed

                                       filled with a million bucks

                                           intended to bug the atom

 

Even the ground can be argued about

whether an earth of round

           can't be bought

 always the same things

        are always the same

 

the earth on someone elses land or mine

  could heighten a reaction

       to argue about land 

           -the ground level-

             levelly

         at the same time 

                as

                   " how lovely

                            is the earth"  

    

Who owns what

    a homesteading of land or landing of homesteads? 

only the water fall

      generates the electric

            might complain

cause he forced to work for what he dont need no current

for his juices for

                      'till an appraiser come along

                      offer him free taxes

                       when he dont owe any

                                 outrage either

                       with no way to say

                            and dont matter

                                   so long as he record

                                       with the bureau of land

                                             on the land

                                                   rolls the water

                                                      mills the paper mill

                                    mills the papers for his free tax application

                                        to the bureau on the land

                so he aint appraised

    appraisable or otherwise

               .... owned by  homesteaded parcels

      Homesteaded

         'stead of being home

       rest knowingly only in  knowing

         whether what is for sale and what is not.

         requires an owners autograph

Your style is very spoken word, and this is waiting to be performed where it would really live. :)
