the point of the universe exists
in this algebraic equation
I mean: the "q" doesn't matter
its all starlight like
punctured construction paper
anyway,
punctured is what going away
feels like
try it
do you see what I mean?
there is an exact mathematical equation
for the way that I'm feeling
though it will not be simple or beautiful yet
it is something perfect and true
this poem is sad.
ReplyDeletei don't have much of an answer...
in my true poems series i wrote a horrible name-dropping pseudo ny school poem that goes...a little...like this:
i never kept a
poem about my father
or imitation of
my brother's driving
only one cloud
everywhere
but that doesn't work
amber says
your company is beautiful
& well-known
at the shanty again
& w/ maged & andrew
so strange
to be successful
& debt free
or to filter
my tapwater
like everyone else
I don't think its horrible. I do, however, think it is also sad.
