making sense of dots
a man can believe anything,
if he puts his mind to it.
dots become symbols, becomes religion,
becomes myth, becomes reality -
reality parts when the insensible beats up
logic, passion rules, passion is flawed
passion creates meaning.
logic bends, breaks apart from reality,
finds dots quite pretty.
dancing in the dark, faces unseen, touches
unknown, meaning loses to
a kiss.
bid farewell to a spiral of fleeting memories
slowly being erased,
with the rhythm that is fast, hard,
i can hear the beat, can you?
dum, dum, dum di dum,
it beats.
a wild fire scorching, erasing memories
and logic.
dots, swirls, patterns take shape,
or is it imagination? does it matter
when belief creates life?
beat, dum, di dum di di di dum
swirls, patterns become scattered, dots
are the worlds we live in,
identities created from beliefs,
believing is real,
how the puppet laughs, scorns
believing is real,
till proven false.
dots, swirls, patterns no longer emerging
and the masses parted
to a pearly gate whose attendants
recognized not the ticket given,
a counterfeit they said: how, why?
but the dots did not explain themselves,
angels and attendants
they were the dancing partners
practiced each night, each solitude taken
as a refuge
from the swirling patterns, a kiss
in the dark
whose lips felt like an angel!
was it really? or what was hope, fantasied,
never ground in anything
other than a belief.
