ratiocination pronounced
r-rated oceans?
rational nations unzipped?
hide your thoughts in a haystack?
some on the same plane might think
ok, plain thinker, think!
so you’ve been practising since day 600 but I don’t mean don’t be
subtle-higher-order-syncretic-complicated-over-determined-gulag
ho
because the world is deeper than you and you
feel think are at home
as in the
beginning
i’m talking about a rotation
into another dimension
a state of thought
in which every book’s burnt
every song misconceived
most babies also
let me run a few scenarios
past you which
might issue from
pork barrels
of injured soldiers
tipped out of hospital onto an
airfield tarmac
someone yells
heal yourselves, suckers
(that’s how much
some people
care)
but i’m at it again
thumbing a book in the dark
you’re right, i can only
feel the pages, i don’t
even know if my mouth is open
or shut
