CONVERGED (revised)

CONVERGED

all points converging
here
   to be converted

or maybe
   being in the South
everything
    is separating
and

I’m just
looking upside down

doing the TS tarot
hanged man thing

worm
   looking up at me
must think me
a skygod down
for day
   of revelation

need to do the eeh-aah Doppler
taste
    test to

get our highest quality
low down

meanwhile the world
is locked in court case

jury
   back inside for the duration

if there is a centre
there must be someone
there to
      contest this
        

AM

AM

am a machine
for producing paradoxes
within paradoxes

koan-type questions
such as
what is the afterlife
after
the afterlife?

what recursive equations
find themselves embedded
in the structure
of everything

here I am under a tree
but it is not a tree

with you
but it is not you

but a shape so glowing
pure with love

though
it has to be you
could well be anyone
anyhow anything

nothing
and every single thing

VACUUM CLEANER

VACUUM CLEANER

there’s Plato

and here’s
a vacuum cleaner

helps you keep
the cave clean
get rid of all
those transcendental
appearances
               some
great film director
must
  have left
lying around

and here I am
dusting and sweeping
giving the place
a thorough
Spring cleaning

cleaners are always welcome
in every utopia
       just have to lie
about their
poetry
    cannot be afford to
get caught
with a scrap
    about their person

the Republic of Philosophy
has clear ideas
     on the nature of text
and how
   to determine
what it means

OXIDE

OXIDE

angles
are collisions

bespeak incidence
and refraction

can see this
check.it out
from the running time
of the Universe
and

all those iron-oxide
socialist red planets

elephant
in the room

no room
for the elephant

enough
room
   in the elephant

space
to cover every surreal
contingency
short of nightmare

space to burble, jumble up
words bounce balls
and spheres and
jagged
     pieces of
interstellar debris

around and
around and around
