Plastic Words

the sun's a furnace...
or angels glorying god...
meaning or nonsense...

which 'isness' is truth...
if either then therefore both...
truth's not paradox...

truth's situation...
truth means separate problems...
science or poem...

truth means purpose...
a different circumstance...
responsible choice...

words degenerate...
over any and all reads...
so truth means context...

that's reality...
words are compliant plastic...
for you and for me...

to relate a now...
describe in part or total...
an experience...

Very cool existentialism poetry, SB! I love your laid-back cryptic style. Meaning within meaning is a spiraling journey to wisdom. And cosmic grasshoppers only take quantum leaping bounds. Meet cha' at the next star of relativity's launching ground. OutSTANding poetry per always by your talented pen, my ink gifted friend. Love and more love always.

Yes, a difficult topic this can be (noticing your remark to someone below). Your name is Stan? Now I know you must be a man! that is such a cool name: Stan Sand.

thanks andrea : ) the mind is ready made to photo-shop any and all information in the brain (pretty much to our own liking)...truth is difficult to pin down...or to word
