a few words
earnest and unkempt
slapped into an electronic machine
confounding and confusing
infused with odd impulses and supersticious notions
images of liberitine voyourism
meshed with hallmark cards and tv love
the mystical mish-mass of the mind-mess
mesmorizes and mesmorizes and mesmorizes
trying to make everyone march on cue
work on cue
love on cue
war on cue
think on cue
vote on cue
believe on cue
a harmonious social landscape
the winners and losers clearly defined
by who can jump the most hoops and memorize lines from bibles
so thinks
a serious gray bearded poet
still earning his wrinkles
as he stakes out a terrain in the mental landscape
he is aware that words can explode
he is aware that there are bullets swarming off the pages
he is aware that he is in an environment of endless cognitive warfare
he is aware of the shrinking resources and the dark way man will sacrifice another
he is aware of being a caretaker who will do what he can to stop it
He is aware of being a few words on a scrap of paper blowing in the wind
