The Inherent Madness

of words words words

we type and text to

one another responses 

like good to “hear” it 

or maybe “see” you 

tomorrow part of us 

knows it’s a lie part

of it is hidden within

the dreamy hypnotism

of language


Watts said “you can’t

get wet from the word

water” but there are 

words with power 

enough i would likely 

never include them in

this poem


we share words, but

(then again) we don’t

my mystery is not the

same as your mystery


Crowley said “Every

man and every woman

is a star.” we can update

that in the style of Sly 

Stone to “Everybody

is a Star” but what he

meant was everyone

is a universe wholly

and singular unto

themself


that we can 

communicate at all

from universe to 

universe has got to

be some sort of

miracle
