Generative Persistence

Generative Persistence Give it a name; “generative presence”, “persistence” Emergent with life, feeling and a pulse Send it on its way while clinging to the egg Enable it from a distance to become of use Keep yourself in a suggestive cocoon State of fixation, enameled in stasis Embedded in concrete reality if only to form Wrapped in patterns, in sequences, in character, in disarray Care to be objective, immersive, informative, and inspired Decline to describe, suggest, discuss, gaps between life Grasp the past meandering. Record the record of history Understand; you are a guest in your own home In your own existence; fantasies not included Invoke the yoke of yellow, involve useful dialogue Desirable, normal, absurd diagnosis of that which is Adapt to youth as it passes Glanced at by events unfolding, reflected in a mirror Placed appropriately in your path From the context, content of that which is perceived In the persistence of memory let it live
