Plato Complete

[ Form - Rap ]

( "Love's Survival" is a paucity. The proper dress is ice-skates and blind-folds. - © 1998 - R.W. )


what to do about Plato of late
the Greeks convinced

and about Pluto
lost planet status

he-haw atmospherics since

lost again when earth's bit brawl is done

say fie to sun and moon
who glaze your suspect skin

born of light

some bummed else
styles back up to air tumbles

traffic stumbles
write poetry

the kind
obscure agrees

always something sticks
as world goes why

unmasked
erasing blue

long after head-lamps cool

corners tangled fools
who think they may get rich

reform in morning phenomes

songs of lovely aches
all for your sake

maybe me too


The sorry state of stars 
they dont know where they are

the mice of earth
haggle sparkle verse

the awful beauty breaks
to spell your name

music intimates
the crippled rain

or just wear a funny hat
identity looms

found exactly where
you thought she'd gather

how she longs

each winged gesture
plain or complete

to be anywhere
anyone else

assay

any New York street
a poem

or Heaven's Gate
of ladder games

Notes:

    1.  Symbolic Poetry: A regurgitated commons.


    2.  Intentional obscurities wont thrill nirvana and bus fares remain alleged.

        ( cutting-edge technique for placing tongue in cheek ).


         (  a tooth-full... wouldn't you say?  )

A tooth full. You are a funny one, Robert. This is kind of over my head, but I admire your style!

A tongue in cheek critique of Symbolic Poetry... it lost me too.
