Stretching the rules Right Over Yourself
(+ i mean) tedious random notes from a notebook.
Not very often, i’ll look into an old codex + read where my mind was at the time. Try to figure out my connection to the page. First, there is the deciphering of my phonetic spelling, + the mistakes of my furiously getting something down on paper. What''s left, or revealed may, or not, be the original thought.
So, here i go, again.
Dream of a refusal to listen to silent books.
What word describes a combination of misunderstood + thirsty.
Look for an alternate ambivalent tribe.
Revisit an old painting -She Carried a Blazing Flag + was Looking for a Cause.
Meet someone who wants to become a pamphleteer + is not the type you run across the street to get away from.
Articulate ideology.
Decide whether life is detritus. Or not.
Remember; understanding poetry is kind of like asking someone to untie some else’s knot.
Rest on that.
can very much relate...i keep all my journals on the shelf...i have them back 7 years...and it is fun to look back and figure out what i was thinking...
ReplyDeleteexactly! i can't even understand my own poetry - i leave it to the experts, like yourself, to explain it to me.
ReplyDeletedetritus...really? probably not far off.
Revisit an old painting -She Carried a Blazing Flag and was Looking for a Cause.
ReplyDeleteI remember that - was that Linda?

I tried poetry once . . .never again. Oh I'm definitely carrying a blazing flag and looking for a cause. Love that. I'm often misunderstood and thirsty as well.
ReplyDeleteLonnie, Linda? A Cause? I thought she was always busy looking for a cure! -J
