“I have recently considered colloquialism
as cannibal— This method of communion;
bringing some of uscloser while it is
simultaneously tearing u s a ll a
part.”

With in Language—
are many hidden languages
defined by the speaking
interests and values.
We no longer say how it is,
relying in stead, upon
self-defined perceptions
of Truth.
We stand behind names—
turning our backsides to reason.
We idolize what is past—
in ways denying us our present gifts.
We idolize what has passed—
in ways which demolish progress and demonize our neighbors.
We are Un r a vel i ng
any chromatic weave coming-itself-together.
Un r a vel i ng the process tethering us to any bright future—
All Coming Un d o
ne.
Justice
Vengeance
Destruction
All bleeding in to one… re(a)d… see
With in Language—
are many hidden languages rewriting the same book—
building walls: book upon piled book—
one on top of an other; each book with its interchangeable
persona’s: “I will trade you my Devil for your Desire”…
Demons exchange with Obsessions. (What you might reference as a Poem:
I could call an Exorcism.) All of these different names for the same th(mean)ing.
We are so progressively fucked; collectively dividing
our self from ourselves— paradoxymoronically:
waging wars based upon a misuse of the word—
becoming ourselves: (The) Weapons of (Mass) Destruction.
And in war there are no winners,
only glorified losses carrying—
the celebrated losers crowned by—
pompous death and its pageantry of ritualized destruction… This is US in prayer.
We have been given this day— training
to take our words
for granted. We are no longer aware
of what it is that we are apt to say and are forgiven our trespasses.
This is the day that the dictionary has become My bible.
This constant battle has transplanted my roots
in this institution— so many times, to re(ally)
learn the lesson:
I must look beyond the words—
To find the mean in g.
I must fuck with order—
To def(end)ine my self.
And perhaps, by paying close enough attention:
I will make it out— in
tact.
While I was busy—
looking for meaning… I managed to find my Voice.
