Curse.  Rail. Spit.
In short impress your peers
With your modernity.

Sneer. Scoff. Hit.
But naught will save
You in eternity....

Modern artificiality:
    The woman becomes a clone,
    carved throughout.
     Estrogen turns to silicone,
       art abounds......

Before, a thousand letters
    didn't kill
    nostalgia...
   Today, just one click
   and the longing dies...
   And everything changes...!...

Sign of modernity:
    The woman almost clone,
    such current artificiality
    carved on all sides.
     transforned by silicone,
       object of art abounds ...?...

My illustrious days 
And inventive lighting ways 
Have vanished like hay 
As modernity has drawn its ray
I resign to the designs
Of the chimes of the times
And stand still
Like a hill

What versus why,
each millennium cries

Man on the run,
all truth in disguise

Modernity reels
from an ancient ideal

Until time the thief
—reveals

CONCLUSIONS

reinvigorate
the
erudite
stamp
of
modernity
&
coexist
with
the tradition
derived
from
transition
to
the
common
phenomenon
privately
 resolved
in
a

Modernity focuses a painted ship on the painted ocean
Only color and fashion, no air, no speed or no motion

It is not Coleridge's The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
But modern ship like society's stagnant sea and river....

Modernity imposes itself upon
eons beauty,
The sun blanketed by grey clouds of dusk, 
shining golden halos onto you,
Lake Naivasha, 
oh you serene grey mystery, 
Like polished silver, 
shine back heavens awesome gaze 
upon you...

I see the
Tombstones of modernity
crumble
as tired tears
of pretty paintings--colorful--
(wash my face)
and decompose cheap convenient concrete
to make way
for more convenient wires.

The metal, sharp
pries me far above what is knowledgeable...

MODERNITY
 place
 & moment
a timeless
anguish
in
a
 supposed
 gathering

fascinating
reality
to enthrall
rendered
 irrelevant

the
 equivalent
 evolves
saturates
with
insipid
unsettling
potency
perpetuates
 as
a
fascinating
messenger...

Mother’s Pearls

Pure pearls bobbling along, huge,
Mum wants me each day to wear, 
Dance gear in grandmother’s day, 
Conversation here is psychiatrical, 
The pearl is a sequence suggestive, 
Of society’s progress of modernity: 
Even the pearls don’t want to be worn....

Complexus-Syntaxus-Maximus

Complexity-Syntaxity
Ezra Weston Loomis Pound
Flamboyant expression
Poetic modernity new.

Seeking no rifacimento
Onomatopoeia
Confusing readers so
Intricate verses make us blue.

Art is everywhere, buddy.
Flourishing all around you.
A stimulus maximus.
80 arrows at your heart
All the time.

Yet you don't  feel it.
It's too much.
You're out there.
Somewhere.
You're somewhere all the time.
While miracles pop off all over the place.
Who cares!
You're trying to keep hold
Of your 5 year old....

Perception... !
  They only knew that I was at home,
  because they heard the light, 
  because they saw
  the voices....
  It was as before:
  they saw music and listened to the colors ...
  But that was the Lysergic effect of the past ...
  The past has passed ... and now!?
  How do they now have such a perception ...!?...

To model she
         forced herself to salads,
         energetic products
         and gym
         To beautify herself,
         amounts of time,
          cosmetology ...
         To compensate,
         solitary abuses,
         stuffing
         of chocolates and
         delicatessen ,
         confectionery ... "...

...At the Shore, zoneyed
hyperspantechnic aerobes
seek treasurefiner-

metal detectives,
hopefilled, as high-tech fishmen
at Igloos of beer

ponder the dearth?, Nay!
of paille tressed, bespectacled
easy-easelers

at hungry palettes
and the sketchmasters who're
ignobly absent!

                                         ....
