Barthes meets Borges meets the inimitable. A must. - Dean
The Mess/age
by Alex Nodopaka
Dressed in their best clothes
They voice opinions
Important only to them
A map
They never have seen
Is on display
It was created
During their hereafter
But they don't know it
They observe, analyze, critique
As if it were a rare fossil
From some distant past
Oh what a masterpiece it is
Says One
Oh how intricately detailed
Says Two
What a complex mind they had
Says Three
After proper carbon-dating
They all are proven right
It proves to be
A scaled down map
Of their mind
|
The compactness (for me) echoes the image the way I perceive its form and the enigma (that leaves me outside the meaning) is delivered so honestly.
- Dean
The Reading
by Anthony James Leahy
So get on with your sermon,
my focus has expanded
to take you in (as much of you as I can take)
I may have a backdrop of squares
but take my word for it
they are more hip than the projectiles
that gate crashed this reading.
Balance your orbs if you must
whether a two headed monster
or a ripe pair of coconuts,
not everything is black or white
so add a little colour and keep interest.
