bubble-warp

..once upon a minute, you know,
you told me to let the bubbles be..

to think beyond, think at least,
to think the possible, and what
seemed to not be; to not destroy
the illusion, the play; to let go,

to stop repairing, to let the chinks
be, and again, to let the bubbles be..

through plague and question, that
i let in; i sorted, i damaged, to see
any sign, any sense; failing, i still
sort; and walk, because i know no

better, and like to believe will reach
where the bubbles are allowed to be..

my constant is your understanding
i may not always agree, or even
comprehend oftentimes, but it is
what centres my balance; i pray

that you will solve my mind awhile; and
till around the bend, let this bubble be..

till that time when the knowledge
is too great, finally, i admit i do
wonder what it would take; and
fear the most,that judgement day

beyond that, beyond beyond,
when I return to the minute
when you told me to let the bubbles be..

(k)no(w) (k)not

all grown up – well, almost

the falls, the cuts, the scars to show

the stifled sobs

the road relentless,scarce a pause

to what purpose, to what end, did i ever know?

all ready to set free – well, almost

the good, the better, the warmth to show

the bad,the ugly

the wounds hacked repeatedly

what would stay, what would leave, did i ever know?

all ready to leave – well, almost

the person, the spirit, the memories to show

the anti-, the con

the push and shove to move on

my choice not to keep, only let go, did i ever know?

change beckons? never again, or ever now?

time calls? hasten forward or hark until?

life wonders? an old beginning or a new end?

the previous I know now, but these i donot still…

pleomorphism...

the parameter of the challenge of my thought-
as well as the bastion to be rendered nought
the cheer in the egging crowd, the jeer in the anti-, the course of the contest i laid out
the standard bar rise to be met-
the rise of the bar i comparatively set
the prize of the success you always sought, the success of the prize you never got


the variable in the final
the tend-ing to the zero of the infinite
the acceptance in the denial
the contradiction in the tautology of wr-ight…
