Premium Member Poetry the Open Form

a
taxonomical
neo-geo
connoisseur
moves on again
to
a totemic
astonishment
 of many

yet
stifling
in every sense
&
in it all
prosaic
 inspiration
 poetically described
 as
 dystopian reimaginings
 of flotsam

a natural
 detritus
embedded
yet
 not belonging
 littered with empty
 kitsch
inlaid with
a peripatetic
identity
&
 linguistic
incomprehensiblity

a
perfected
 undertaking
before
disillusionment
 was growing
into
an insular
 mutely
 societal moment

a
tormented
self-portrait
to
reflect
 the days
but instead
depicted
a  recognition
of
largely passing
 decades
hoisted
&
seared
in
a
retrospective
 survey
