They call this poetry
They call this poetry, but You know better. This is sorcery! The making art. The instruments for basic experiments: Vials Not made of glass, But of the thinnest film of words self-attaching The beginning to the end, Within which loops of time are measured with exactitude, Two equal parts to each side; a time traveller's Arrowhead— One shot—a green flame; an utterance bellowing Thunderbursts through the throat, and off You go. You wanted rain; it rains. You wanted the hard And the cold; By now you've drawn in lungsful of air. Enough. The space ants Hover over cold metal. You read between the lines Like an inspector For a miniature palm-top factory. The rhymes produce, tempt: make easy, Make do— The music comes again, Sprouting midnight tunes from the centre of your hand—this Is the craft, the ever-restless band of Monotonist strides, and it grows So long, so well. It grows big. Big enough to stopper the universe And remain invisible In the starless sky.
