In Theory of Memory I

Days are sharp as memories pass 
As the idle thunder attest 
to storms of unsettled wrath. 

They gather together on the opaque horizons.

The engines of the highway HUMM 
and 
the grind with the heaviness of an iron heart
…eons-long!

Full of oily thoughts and rusted parts,
in memorium when machines ran 
by our hand only in the theory of history, Grand!

The city reeks of oblivion and abstract thoughts…

Infinities' echos were sharp redrawn imagery…

Antiquated days nestled in idol thunder!

of tomorrow’s memories…ALL
In the theory of memory

Now all color is 
…is the color of embers 
As we rust like echos that pass 
into the wasted days, abstract!

In theory of memory…
               Only the bitter last!

Everyday

In Theory

I am not sure, do i make you responsible 
for the things i do
the ones i do not want to do
do i make you responsible 
for the things i do not
and i want to do
in theory

in theory
what to do
that makes your life more sensfull
and what not to do
that avoids the world to fall apart
is also my responsibility
and knowing and not doing
breaks me apart

apart
we are at the same time
the things we are doing
together – but the minds try to flee
I hopelessly try to find sense
fulill the time
and you are trying to flee your mind

mind
was never something worth believing
for you
thats the one and only life
to come through
time passes by
so why 

why
is the question
turning in my head and mind
that mind
that feels rather than think
what is best to do
but i can not live it with you

and still i am here
seeing your answer to time
to life
is dazing your mind
that cant answer my question
i do not want to follow
nor go away

Autumn Better In Theory Than In Fact

Autumn Better in Theory Than in Fact

By Elton Camp

Love of autumn many will opine
Some changing leaves do look fine

The gingko and the maple tree
Are the best colors I can see

But truthfully, when I look around
Most of the leaves simply turn brown

To praise, a special poet it does take
Surely one who doesn’t have to rake

I have to work very long and hard
To remove them from my yard

Knowing beyond any possible doubt
Next day, more will be scattered about

It makes the choice easy to understand
Why some build houses on treeless land

So as to glorious fall leaves I must say
I wish that green, all year, they’d stay

In Theory

certain minds can be juxtaposed -
one next to the other,

such that
a line -
         can feel…
	                   - like a spike!

or a cantaloupe-
	      … 
		 - can graze.
-----
	   
there are sectons in our mind -
	   

that can run,…
		            parra
                         		
		                    llel!
   

                   - and swim!



they can swim…
		 inside (?) themselves…


they can -




        fly.
