parameters

chaos alone is

less constructive

than that which

fluctuates within

the parameters of

the norm---like a

bomb ticking, like

a blade sharpening,

like a rebel waiting in

the jungle---knowing

the lines within which

one colors, so that the

lines can be broken---

create & destroy, destroy
to create, breaking down

all that was---smashing

all things retro but never

claiming pure originality

for anything---knowing all

is a pastiche, knowing that

we all consciously/unconsciously

have been sampling &

repeating, memorizing &

dwelling in the beauty of the

cultures around us,

which bring us a reason to

keep on pushing the rock up the

hill,

eroding

eroding

eroding

the hill itself,

for the biggest parameter of all

is that obstacle

smack dab in front of

oneself &

it needs to be

obliterated.
