WRITING A POEM

WRITING A POEM

writing a poem
makes me greater
renders me lesser
gets me

spinning round and round
in perpetual circles
not orbiting
possible worlds or
planets with potential
(for then I would

be missing out
following an ellipse)

Smith. Marx, Engels
Hayek, Varoufakis

debating the politics, economics,
textual strategies and
social dynanics
concluding with
a wrap up comment
to contend
the basic meaning of it all

   not in any total
absolute sense
             upon which
what falls, outside poetry
has to depend
