words - symbolic of a vast greater meaning
so many many words - lots and lots
want
to inhabit the interstices
to reach for the in-between places
touch what doesn't exist
pull stone from body broken
mouth wide
I would have begun with these words of Kafka's: "I consist of nothing but spikes that go into me" …
it is
time to stop
now
thank-you for listening optimistically
but wait… I have more to say; words are not just juxtapositions of pure sound, believe
pound diminutive
black squiggles mostly
but symbolic of a vast greater meaning - ghostly or wrathlike or vaporous
I've found, or spotted, recovered and discovered… dig for a trove, probe,
found
lexigraphical characters
they have deep, subterraneous sinister personalities
hey hey, could they be sleepy abecedarian
lexicon scanned by the be-spectacled librarian
execution; kill the word; word is dead; long live the word
words are
not just juxtapositions of pure sound
underestimation of shape formation; can be humanistic, futuristic, divisive
and controlling
maintaining power - psychobabble;
shape with inflected meaning; lines, dots, holes, snake shapes, tadpoles,
loops, tails, half circles, bumps and humps, concaves and convex symbols,
ideogram, graph, ancient hieroglyph with obscured meaning
scheming to envelope us
audible development ness of sound; perceptible homophone
diminutive pithy black squiggles mostly
polyphones trying to distort meaning - taciturn and ghostly
do we have a flowing brain?
distorting meaning - sometimes hurting, often hurting
squiggles; invisible but real, real like atmosphere
hidden but
waiting to be exposed
ears open, sometimes closed, often closed
waiting to catch you out
development ness of word meaning - scheming
waiting to catch you in
catch you in
abound with super fluid meaning - scheming
and searching for the etymology
derivation of word meaning; possible tautology
elegantly finding the terminology
assuming sounds
make sense
not being dense
learning the all great ABC; helping with phonology
follow the dotted line shapes with finger
to explain; the pain
maintain turgid homogenous black cursive glyphs
hidden from
view, concealed behind
mind what you say hey hey hey
dark secret places
cloaked behind rough paper walls; it appals me
trapped under lock and key,
toy with punishment; was meant to be a deterrent to the majority
but it doesn't seem to be the case
resentment; wild hate; words dissolve in to - sonorous bitter lemon hyperbole;
taste
words hidden;
in institution
dominated by regimentation,
procedures, rules, the regime that compounds
their silence,
denies them a voice to tell ; the injustice
words trying to break the silence
violence of a different sort
ought they create revolution
word offences; misdoings, transgressions, theft or fraud, word lifting, shifting,
corrupting; stealing the meaning
bam, in the can, bolt up, slam; leather bound tomes
loads in our homes; concealing the lies
not discussed; be careful
d'you always
believe what you read?
d'you always believe what you hear?
words are not just juxtapositions of pure sound
shape with
inflected meaning; lines, dots, holes, snake shapes, tadpoles, loops, tails,
half circles, bumps and humps, concaves and convex symbols, ideogram, graph,
ancient hieroglyph with obscured meaning
scheming to envelope us
audible development ness of sound; perceptible homophone
diminutive pithy black squiggles mostly
polyphones trying to distort meaning - taciturn and ghostly
distorting meaning often hurting
squiggles; invisible but real, real like atmosphere
careful
what you say
careful what you play
careful what you write
I might
careful
people may see it
careful people may hear it
careful people may believe it
take right the non-frills vernacular
emblematic
of a immeasurable superior sense
or
symbolic of a vast greater meaning
I've found
