Socks Lost to the Dryer Again
Humanity's Little Issues

Socks Lost to the Dryer Again/
there must be some purpose to all this carnage.
We were only
harvesting fruits from Industrial loom. Writing
A Presage and A Preface:
Where we learned the divine ridicule
of human behavior
in the Spinach
Novel the teachers used to offer us,
always telling us
to do the things they themselves
won't or cannot do.
We learned to read things
they could never read,
codes of deviance in the print.
We learned that
Every Penny Counts:
a glimpse of heaven in the
tarnished face of a copper;
[there must be some purpose to all this carnage]...
Sensing through Censors
the residues of composition and
disintegration which eke-out humanity's formation.
Lilacs scented nervously nibbled fingers
in the formulation of poetry's sketch;
however nimble,
could it ever be real poetry,
only traced in blood?
BUT THEY LIED
who said there was a glimpse of heaven
in the tarnished face of a copper, when
metal is
purely
of Earth...
The touch of skin only
upon the surface of things--
on air or on stone\ A Question:
does even the touch prove prove poorly
Real Presence?
Of odor and perfume.
Of fur and flesh.
The Sun: no, not flower
but metal:
the severity of gold.
Having pets even,
who are possibly responsible
for the famous loss of socks
[how cozy and how cute, familiar fairies].
Enumerated with the memory of
freshly washed laundry\
Or the droop of flowerheads in Summer.
But no,
it is not the sickness of flowers;
it is a metal of harsh glare, a flare,
a fine point to tear up in the shattering
shine of sun/ IRON
triumphant fragrance of filigree metal
making possible the Industrial Production of Socks/
mechanical looms and such.
I digress.
So a sock can be blue
or a sock can be white.
Like all things in sensitivity to
incomprehensibility of colors,
divided from the indeterminate nature of their spectrum.
Then I guess
might as well, if everything is surface
let the Eye be master.
It is the sense of projection and mark of distance.
Where was the center
of gravity? hidden in the
Heart,
my pupil [apple of].
