Array ( [sid] => 84396 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The next chapter [time] => 2005-02-14 16:24:27 [hometext] => When I wrote this poem, I was struck by the size of the page I was writing on. It's a lot bigger than what I am used to, and so in a way, it presents a different challenge that I must adapt to. [bodytext] => There is such a contrast between
the old space and the new.
A new freedom lies within this chapter.
There are no comparisons,
no criminal recorded jarogons,
spilled forward 10 degrees,
slightly angled out the back door,
no escape routs,
no mingling strangers ******* in ally ways,
puking in sidewalk cracks,
giving advice,
calling your name through gasps
and dry heaves.

No.
In this new space there is a
clear and flowing page,
an endless echo,
rising,
calling my name,
demanding to be observed.
Clean cut, along dark pages
lining the ink's interrior.

Half of the passage leaves trace marks of
what once was, an eye wavering
inside and out,
back and forth,
giggling and piercing glances toward
doubters and non believers,
swearing on the palms of sliced memories,
childhood dreams of future's destiny
that stood before you were born,
in a life stream of angles and devils,
soaring above river beds and ice coves,
dancing with eyes closed,
beaming grace,
insane,
flattered,
beckoning,
three-fourth's full,
water dried,
condensed under the pressure
of the sun's fixed eye,
transparent. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 43 [informant] => zenmind [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
