Critically Rethinking Creation

 

 

I ask:

 

Do we ever stay long enough

with the pain to break through

our shells of indifference?

 

Do we ever unravel the Gordian Knot

in enough time to rewind the selfish imperative

operative

around our impenetrable heart of stone,

in our broken clamshells bereft of pearl, hard-

headed self-absorption?

 

And why don't we know without a doubt,

without a reasonable facsimile of progressive

ideology in a conflagration

consternation and determination configuration

in a boxed-up metaphor, this alchemy of you and I,

ablaze in a blinding binding insight?

 

Being reasonably indeterminably intelligent, the

obfuscation passes unbeknownst even to the supporting

roles we play, inexorably linked to incomprehensible

and unvanquished nothings that pass for everything,

in the passing moments of all there is, ticking away like

the day and night in a land where time is but forgotten

if not for the call: Wake up dreamer!

 

And I, like a disappearing act,, needing only

" the ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine

and the chair " , walk away from you, like a stand-up heroine

in a movie filled with knee-jerk reactions,

 

end this Poem with no other signs of self-absorption

floating around in my ever-loving persona non grata.....

 

 

Smiles,

Anna
