The Disembodied

A poet has no gender or existence only black words Seen and read by anyone in particular What is the intent? Brain synapses come alight in reinterpreting the meaning A blonde man's blue eyes say "I know what this means" but do not know the author Brain synapses come alight in inventing the meaning A black woman's brown eyes say "This is what this means" The poet's disembodied message (words by the baker's dozen) has traveled long miles The meaning of the poem no longer a private pearl becomes public like a frog Shifting like the desert sands What will it be 10,000 years hence?
