True Objective Occurrences


True Objective Occurrences

my thoughtful process is tethered
an elegantly designed limited edition

a noteworthy measure of artistic intention
a significant percentage of provocative analog

I suppose it means something akin to compromise
or an over-determined allegiance to instructive joy

a sunset-flush shared only to propose civility
an obvious argument for quiet happenstance

I will try in good faith not to hold it against you
the banning of my bare bones and my daring breaths

be mad with desire
be riled by knowledge
be assimilated by art

it is a fated pursuit to become the Invisible Woman
it is a fated pursuit to become exceptionally vague

the prayers of misguided angels are rudimentary in design
the predictions of vestigial clowns pale in comparison to

enticed writers
artful painters
faithful architects

my observant progression is a generous portrait
instrumental in adding wistfulness to apprehension

a simple remedy for bewilderment and righteous despair
a humble antidote for soaring shelves of pitiful prose

I suppose it means something to rally against the bravado
to perpetuate the philosophy of heavy fists and sharp words

into something believable and deserves deft devotion
into something that leads you to the source of my words

laid neatly and organized carefully on sheets of soft paper

ubiquitous creations
voluptuous chastity

distinctive penmanship

all of it seems magical to those of us dependent on typical flaws
challenging our contemporary impression of fire and brimstone

and that is the dirty little secret of poets writing reams of poems
about true objective occurrences swathed in incendiary language

I had a burst of creative energy this afternoon while listening to the rain pour against our hot tin roof.  This is what transpired.

In propinquity,
Nic
