Shagalicious

The slithered shadows trailed my shag rug, in the foothills of the upright weave of flaccid threads. 

Seemingly chaotic, yet made out of pure design and memory: From the hands of its maker, rolled into the flatness beneath its buyer’s feet. Asking “why” looks for the in-between, vast as forever. The math: A hard one and social, but still a math. More of a psychonomic-politecology.

Our bodies are just the same—moving pieces that pretend to be in a vacuum. We aren’t in one, but surely under it every so often.

Pieces who poise in passing places and people; pretending preponderance, betraying imposed predilections, to the preferable exposed. 

Psychobiophysic microcosms invoke the such of a macrosomatic glob that is the everything, at least on this atomic chunk. 

And so forth,
And so forth.

The gibberish in the rug is a cortex, and so are we.

This one takes some reading to start to get it. A fav for me because it is on another worldly plane of existence. Closing verse is perfect too. God bless

Thanks Robert. Very much appreciated, the title of the poem arrived to me after I wrote this nonsense.

I was literally sitting on a couch staring at my shag rug when these words came vomiting out of my head. Totally ambiguous, like the shadows contrasted in the whiteness of the rug.
