Fn around with fibs*
An essential(?) sequential poem collection
I
am
being
and seeing
and delivering
in the ether of existence
—
Do
you
wonder,
as I do,
why we must argue
’til our faces rue their blue hues?
—
As
I
write right
now these words
borrowed from ages
appear in novel arrangements
—
Da
Da
Vinci
readymade
L.H.O.O.Q.
re-faced a jocund reverie
—
What’s
with
the old
cold-hearted
gold-plated hatred
from those who sold the world away?
—
Half-
turn
staircase
circuits are
switchback toe tap paths
of infinite step ups and downs
—
Re-
think
re: ‘can’t’
as a ‘won’t’
wrapped in cast plaster
or straight jacket-tied attitudes
—
Why
lie
when you
could get by
with fine lines that leave
a reliable lineage?
