The Market wears a heavier Gown —
Her Robes — of imported Thread —
The People — pay the Seamstress’ wage —
Though none were in her Bed —
The Merchant sighs — the Farmer weeps —
For Bread — once plain — now dear —
The Crown is gone — yet still it feeds —
On what we’ve sown — this year —
Invisible — the Hand that takes —
From pockets lined with toil —
We trade our sweat for foreign gain —
Our Freedom — taxed — in spoil —
O Liberty — thou ghostly Guest —
We toast thee — through the Pain —
The Price of Goods — our silent vote —
Uncounted — yet again —
This here is the thing. It is indicated
By a signal coming from a source,
Questioned by a desire for validity,
Soaking in a pool of vapour.
Language gives a structure
To imaginary fabrication
Whose existence is assumed
Quite without substantiation
Concrete metaphors convince
Whomsoever desires conviction;
These are entities vibrating
Autogenic deification.
Vine leaves winding round the clock hands
Are interpretations of time’s change
Like the lengthening shadows
Engaging the heat of the day
But once the night stars
Withdraw their spark into themselves
It is all over
Bar the wailing.
Visual premise of extreme stipulation of emergency declaration.
1. Soldiers on ground in real time in the state being represented.
2. Unaffordable Wage
3. Wages presence indicates War Acts in 24 response.
4. Loss of life cannot be interfered with, only observed.
5. Caution at and as Post to remind one need deploy declaration as executive order and gather haste to governance. Governance is governors post.
6. Turn the war positive in retrieve of life in doors as much as actual document and improve.
7. Federal violations of code meaning we cannot create life in language only by asserted commands.
Removal of Post has no observation above?
You wished God upon another's certificate as pork?
The agency of volume created by poet
Resigned post is record in failures sums
Greed and impotent arrogance
Threat is well aware of its hiding
Convict it as yourself follow conveigniently
to the slaves prison as slave for
slaves wage is feed
Tjhe Cretans have centered there
intentions
made foly of the traditions
stood in the Pool of Rightousness
to drink the wines of endearment and affection
callously they decieve
for those who belive
and shall rub the ointments
of victory in there losses
Might the moon emcompass the
straddlers
to brring them into aligment with
Talus!
There they shall stand as men
before the God of Wrest
each seed sown
to bare the friut
the bark of the trees
to make the leather
the presious metals smelted
formed and trimmed with
the gem stones
Talus stand before me
that I have labored
and am Champion above all!
Talus recognize me attop all these men
that I am Champion of
Champion
on every coast
in every feild
to sell every conseccion
That I am recognized
to all men as best
before me no other
and after me the same
Champion
recognized by such adornments!
There is no critical mass for ambiguity.
At this time, we are a little aside of ourselves
so we must constantly check our watches,
The sublimity of yet more obscurity,
more inexplicable poetry
presses,
drives us
to paste a nearby reality
upon ghost-paper once more.
Trust is something that is
Non tangible
Loyalty is something that is
Accumulated
Be careful who you associate yourself with
What am I talking about?
The core ingredients of
A relationship
Admitting it,
Integrity is something that represents
You
Principles is something that analyzes
Yourself
Be careful on how you learn from your mistakes
What am I talking about?
The factors of building
Oneself
Digesting it,
Love is something that is
Felt
Friendship is something that is
Worked on
Be careful on who you let in
What am I talking about?
The foundation of
Togetherness
Acknowledging it
streams of thought continue to flow
as ideas endure archaic mindsets
forced silence speaks through the pen
the written word will rise to the occasion
and a Whip-poor-will chant its name endlessly
in enthusiastic appreciation from dusk to dawn

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
...Even when I look to the past
the implications echo strong,
I used to like Frederick Douglas,
now I realize that I was wrong.
Old Fred was much darker than me,
so I cannot empathize with him,
5o think that he was a hero…
me, a pale man—oh, such a sin!
If the smartest say we can only
feel safe with those who look like us,
than maybe I must reconsider
the whole of the northern state’s cause.
After all, didn’t the greybacks
fight for people who looked like me?
If my heroes must reflect my face
then hooray Confederacy!
Now growing up I once believed
that a person is what’s inside,
that the world’s a tough, brutal place,
never gives out an easy ride.
I was taught to cheer for people
who pushed on despite all of this,
who sought to do right, be moral,
when they found themselves deep in the sh-t,
that such things spoke to a person,
more than pigment ever could,
regardless of sex, age, background,
we instinctively cheered for the good.
But C.R.T. says otherwise,
and professors claim they have ‘facts,’
Is it possible they all are wrong?
And that representation is crap?
Yes. Yes it is.

Over x steps we will plot
after y steps up to site.
This is the way we create a body.
This is the beginning and this is end.
One spot along outer curve after spot.
Over time we create form.
After time we create line.
This is learned by measured formula.
This is practiced by sending number sets.
One set pairs after another set more.
Over experience cone,
over our learning of bell,
this formula drives known ideal form.
This complexity makes simplified art.
One art connected to others in web.
Over our creation art,
over web to all connects,
this numeric nature brought to new life.
This mental game in time represents us.
One ciphers. One plots. One imagines.
Timeless steps time and again.
Animates our life and time.

I do not represent no one but myself.
I do not speak for no one but for myself.
I represent my son of course his my sunshine.
I speak for him in time of need for when he get tongue tide or he
Don't understand or get confused.
My English may not be perfect comon sense is I am not a American.
I do not have a daughter and never will, no offense but this is a done deal.
I do not miss "relationship" or what ever that was for I never had any feelings from head to toe.
So I do not represent no one but myself I am not saint Mary
Stop utilize me as her.
Today is built on chance.
The ideal of a better tomorrow.
And still I love you.
Though every day can't be as perfect as the last.
It's made perfect for all the little things you do.
And still I love you.
The foundation of tomorrow begins with today.
And if blessed with longevity.
I'll still faithfully love you.
Although there will be times when I press your last button.
And other times when you can't stand the sight of me.
You should always be convinced, that I love you.
It's not because my heart doesn't have a brain.
Or the fact your face is so beautifully complexed.
In truth my heart shouldn't always need a reason to recognize it's
living, breathing representation.
Even if your mad a time or two.
Your still the reason life tastes so great.
And I'll still faithfully love you
They
Provocatively present;
Frame; focus; capture
Eyes hoodwink, smiles beguile
Us
internally I
minute amidst such dark depths
eternally be
