but it seems to me
so i ask myself
is is thought smooth? a good question?
is this thought a black hole in a rubber mat
to ripple gravity waves through? or being
ripped by them, does it expand at the speed
of words in a chamber (a simple device for catching
the smaller words they break down into)? – it all
happens so quickly, before i know i have the thought
even, and, if i assume few topological constraints,
before i know i’ve had the thought the thought thinks
don’t be dismantled because this thought is neither
elegant nor fuzzy and anyway the thought just
now penetrates my skull to emerge into the
surrounding medium in every direction into which
it can scatter, leaving traces as ambiguous
as ampersands partying in syrup
or a cocksure ignoramus in the jelly bean jar
that is america, fighting for survival, with no
after glow or neon farts to blow lights off course
of course it has been proven that thoughts
are not words, phew, i rest my case
(you can ask for the evidence after)
