DISPLACED IDEAL

 

A condition of community unlinking the politics of identity arbitrarily intermixed with heightened senses

 

 

Narrating via textual evidence a dance plays out

 

elongates

 

though shortening from first note

 

 

What’s missing is hierarchy lineage be damned a grand scheme

a community with no site beyond here here  and here

 

Seen in another

 we see

 

the freedom to move about belonging where when  to whom

 

How can navigation be achieved with no A

 

or B

 

 

 

 

An open                                                     displaced ideal                               seeking materialization A WORD

 

As it distinguishes

 

 

we corrode in unresolved typography 

                      

                      

unleashing an essentially conscious activity

 

 

 

An aesthetic creation

 

- a word -

 

fondles being pleasurably with its subjectivity 

 

                                only 

         

        

           to ultimately be deemed objective

 

 

 

 

A constant circumlocution creates concepts coarse in connectivity

ESTABLISHED ELECTRONICALLY                                               

 

There was once a time 

 

when 

 there was a time that existence was questioned

 

now we exist

 

coexist

 

 

but this the time we lack interaction

 

the same poles  all moving in the same direction

 regulating in isolation

 

established electronically 

 

 

an abridged version 

 

    of contact

WITH LESS THAN SENSE

 

Untractable liberites taken

 

    leave a member impotent

               

                         as relief relieved allows

                                       

for the fantastic

 

 

 

Certain capacities

 

while still intact separate inanimate objects 

 

with less than sense

 

 

 

Opressed

 

we seek

   

and interpret on our own accord

 

 

interpretations are dissected  under this lense             and that precept

 

 

 

 

but for a waste we listen and are informed

 

 

 

 

 

Author statement:

I usually begin - or begin thinking about - my poems with something that I have heard or read. I write it down, or if I don't have my notebook, I will type it into the notepad on my phone. I have become very keen on listening and observing through a wider frame, trying to take in what is actually going on around me. Bits of conversations I hear as I pass by have really started to find their way into my work. Hearing one sentence or statement outside of context, as a passerby is quite interesting.

I write all of my poems by hand in a notebook and then transfer over to some electronic media. As I am composing in the electronic environment I find the rhythm of each line and deal with line breaks and give my poems that added substance
