i
remains
an obstinate candle of ignoramy
implacably opposed to the
insult
of placards and canards
of a slickly contented materialism,
mother of tears and trials
and praises to Mammon.
i
remains
absurdly inordimate
and never enamored of
numb proclamations of profiteers and pirates,
a pure pier of paper against electronics,
a filmy fen of flesh against future fossils
frank
and convinced of colors and collages
of colleges incarnate
and knowledge in confidences.
i
create
because i can (dull)
because i must
1
can either conform or create
and
i
don't see the light in the first, nor even heat
only a can of dull.
i
a candle of the fresh
or the foppish, the faded or the fine
frank and colorful
driven rather than disciplined
dizzy pens drawing
dissipating
dissembling
keenly cans of contoured ken.
Do i can do
can done
condone
done
i
i
flicker
but
i
do not
quite
go out.
