A Born-Again Poet

Amid the deafening ruins
in the viral era
in my final years as a career bibliocrat
in the autumn of a broken life...

I
became
a born-again poet

I create
 malleable/mutating
  meaningful/less
   texts that 
    flow from a
    nomadic neural network
    reflecting
   decades of
  conflicts & 
conflicting worldviews
	
hoping to create
something with depth
while being out of
my depth & mind

                                                                                           But it's now clear
                                                                                              I'm at my best
                                                                                           not making sense
                                                                                      and simply surrender
                                                                                                   to logorrhea

I hope for some
recognition
and maybe
a little immortality
as I will someday
cease & desist

but
will likely
fade into
obscurity
obscurit
obscuri
