THINKING DIFFERENTIATING CRASHING
1. Definitions
The feather:
The part of the bird that does not decay.
The soul:
The part of the human that does not
Decay:
Knowing the soul we can know
Of the feather:
We can know only the soul.
2. Fish
Fish in a bowl
Aging without effort
Like to watch a long time
Obscured by people
Who wave.
The rest are displaced
Onto the water,
Into the heart of the viewer
Or elsewhere, for later.
If we strip them away
It looks like a woman.
No wonder it took two tries
To make her.
3. Addition
One has a wonder
Two imagine death
And they stone
A body I
Looked like
Once I thought oh
I thought
In order to think
In order to think
One must learn how
I could let you
Teach me how
If I could let you
4. Love
In love with complication
Wounded by urgency
Surmounting memory
Like a cresting ship
Elements compete
For spatial representation
If you don't hear me
Elements compete
For spatial representation
The dead compete
Within a definition of consciousness
That doesn't include them
And the stone over and what
I looked like when
I invented her I said oh she's
Oh she's not
What I thought
5.
There there was faith
Instead of god
And food
Instead of sleep.
The only good
Was forgiveness
Of evil
(Porchia).
The rain lasted
Only an hour,
The field
Only an acre,
But I never could tell a field from rain.
