Sometimes my poems just seem like
journal entries
Long winding
---
Everything always seems to start
with overlappings
Nothing really there
Until one after another
Piled up
2-d images don’t exist here
we cant imagine them
but sometimes I do
And I imagine they are the first
existing layer
Of anything
Really!
Really. Of anything
Just like the outline
The one hundred percent
Verified
Two-dimensional outline
And when you change your angle
Even the slightest bit
Whatever it is disappears
Because that’s physics, punk.
Anyway
Eventually
Overlaps and overlaps later
Something exists
Maybe a dog
A tree
I don’t know
Books, words
Strawberry rhubarb pies
And eventually
The world is built
Round and round and round.
Now don’t let me lose you here
But
The world
Once
Was probably a single un-overlapped
two-dimensional thing
And can you imagine that.
