Notes About The Poem

for example

for example: 


suppose green 

	as if it were a thought

remember 
green 
	as it once was taught

touch something; 
				call it green
name something 
			manufacturing a meaning.
greening it, 

	claiming green
as your own, 
			holding it now as
a word of substance 
				a word of meaning, 
a manufactured reality.

the absolute realness of green          and then 

			another

and another.				and yet

where is that substance 
					that I have not been taught?

		thought

where is thought -

	for example
