What Is Poetry?

 

maybe I’m bias to facts, maybe to dreams; it seems we have ups and downs, roads paved and unpaved, bets and antes and recovery.

 

the masquerade has become indelible, like thick marshy ink, or irremovable paint. the masquerade is poetry.

 

when shall we see—the mirror is half empty—depicting a full face?

 

feelings live inside of minds, in which a calculation has been assessed, has become like concrete—so metallic, like steel rugs, or so paranormal, like it shall not be explained.

 

people are meant to be seen, understood; often one can tell and show the how, but can’t explain the measures, mechanics, the inner components. as pledged participants, undergoing the phenomenon, the alibi is the experience of the poetry.

the inner notebook is part filled. the nocturne feeling shall pass. we seem to be at some peculiar pond, looking upon high, weaving some sort of impartial understanding.

 

carrying what we knit, flooding authentication, looking forward to the experience, if only to assert—it shouldn’t be said.

 

the pieces are in disarray. the mind is at alert. the significance of poetry is pivotal. the one understanding how prose works, their vulnerabilities, their operational codes—is in charge—despite, one’s uneasiness with that fact. we’re trusting souls with absolute measurements. this becomes one’s life.
