Short Unintelligible Poems

The ocean behind
Seems to speak a lot of things; 
We can't understand....

A shift in consciousness 
A callus formed 
An attempt at a better life 
Failure, disapproval, disregard
A lack of perspective 
An excuse
A willingness 
Loss, bitterness, overdrive 
A callus formed 
A shift in consciousness

tone-deaf 
unintelligible 
mumblings 
escape into the air
like nails spreading 
across a chalkboard 
causing confused 
expressions to spread 
across the faces of those 
around 
break out in an all out
two left footed choreography 
the look at me look at me 
show has begun...

    “And, by the way, it used to make the beer 
brewed here  — it is used to make the brewed beer 
here in this refine- — oh, Earth Rider, 
thanks for the Great Lakes. I wondered 
why (inaudible) — (unintelligible).”

~Joe Biden

the Great Pumpkin and RED RIDER BB GUNS for the
Grand Canyon.

The leader of this country is a ying-yang.
He rules from the city of Pyongyang.
After sixty years of uneventful peace,
this xenophobic jerk wants it to cease.
He is willing to wage war with the south.
Some unintelligible words come from his mouth.
He is too young to know what the first war was like.
His countrymen should tell him to take a hike.

unintelligible whispers ~ cause the weirdest reverberations

it sounds too good to be true ~ is a noisy misinterpretation

a chameleon in a flawed mirror ~ kissed it’s own aberration

the pot overheard the kettle whistle ~ a steamy admiration 

a little magnetism is good ~ too much will bring polarisation 

i put these monokus together ~ with mostly misinformation

My, the frightfully threatening roll
of the foreign tongue
inexplicable, rapid fire
shrapnel to the unaccustomed ear
proceeding, ever forward
in an unintelligible tirade.

Ears ache for understanding
Eyes strain for common ground
no single sigil or symbol recognizable.

My Lord, to be so alone, so lost
so must we journey, infants all,
landing without fan fair
on distant shores, seeking only
love and acceptance....

Have you heard any body speak in foreign language,
and compared it to the growl of a tiger,
or even the bark of a dog,
both weigh the same,
they are unintelligible sounds,
the only difference is that,
you know it is the human,
who spake with self interest in full,
and the animal,
with his limited self interest,
and it is the self interest,
which makes you familiar,
with language,
so that it is not foreign any longer....

That driving force
that is ink for the well,
this compulsion to compel,
to tell a thing
until it rings in the brain.

Again and again
we sew a quilted cloth,
construe it thread by thread
until what is said
becomes a scaffold
to hang words upon.
A placeless place
where night seeing bats
seek out the heat of
hidden meanings.

There within an open ended parable
both poet and reader
decipher and construct anew
to make a sense, or a reasoned view
of the unintelligible....
