LevelsA Stage Play by Alex Vandool
"Code - who knows?
Sharp lines unseen, unfelt, uncracked Spin digital, square in neon shades ...Pink, green, light blue Scarlet against the black And white and wheels In Arab flow, arabesque they say Code spin; roads in each direction known And up and out again Numbers to infinity Varieties of codes Dot dash dot dot and watch it rise Accelerate to speeds unknown Imagine Then what gives And what about the soul, the mind? Defined by code Operated by some strange same Enter message, synapse map: Close or open Command seek Confusion Confused code and arbiter Control or now controlled Zero one one one zero Simple Fast and faster than the eye? The brain in vain (or insane) this time Must speed up to see who shows Is anything ahead already Or is this head behind? Prime, prime to part the drapes of the mind Continue if I will Equations set and limit space Deny the message excess pace Trap the code, untangle sight (Orange) Unwrap the code Electric shocks Speed colours - fly magic Back again and faster still Let's bring this terror to a halt DNA LSD three, three, three Crazy writing as before Taken prophetically that apocalyptic tale How many souls bore its weight Crushed to dust beneath its tail Some beast beyond compare Such mocking knocking ill-prepared To face a challenge from below Or should we say above We could and scratch it in our blood Like code sent plague H1N1 Like numbers' number in white noise Seething, speeding Not all is known Fear or boredom Ennui wins this calculated choice For in the air ring waves and lines Wars of pattern Armies of this code Sound snap view wide Narrow tunnels sucking life inside A guess and yes A break in time Code code not slowed Figures symbol master - flow Break snap crunch quadronometry New physics book of poesy Metaphysics Metaphor Beta chemical in chain work Chain link Chain sink A foolish choice? Mitosis mega split A million directions dancing, entrancing on a pin These codes These nightmare givers Damnation slivers Slicing through our hope for peace We cannot stand it, nor stand for it We fight on to the end Lesson one and less on past infinity No end in sight nor sound nor touch But can we give and take so much To not look back and forward? There! A sign of something from the other side Where all is clear and codes are seeds To flower magnificent alone And not detach our nerves so strung Need not I some calm relief That my code-solve time should be so brief To ponder and stretch this way that On racks of code, unknowing, flat And all the levels rise and fall To one pure level smoothing all Maybe as it always was And is and will be in and out And can we ever do without These endless drastic codes" © 2018 Alex Vandool |
