MEDIAN

MEDIAN

the medium is
the message

but I am out
have exhausted my
stock of words

wish
there were
a word store

or way
to paper over

seems
all that material
all my fresh and new
and vital truth
has simply
been recalled

and I must scratch and scrape
until my cortex bleed
to remember
anything at all

poem is what it is
does what it does

how difficult to talk
that talk

laughablle
to define
(been like
that since
the start of time)
