Finale of Steadiness

one can't be sure how much

transfigurement occurs during sleep.

how often a straight line fudges a crooked

line, so: a/b/c can sequentially light up.

three yesterdays ago today--a legless

Daddy-long-legs was pulled across the

floorboards of my head.

in response to the banging vacuum of

wakefulness.

as a bedroom window isolates what will

be uniformities of rain--shower (cut!),

shower (cut!), shower (cut!)...with a finale

of steadiness?

There you go again! Such intriguing imagery, like peanut butter as bait in a mousetrap, I have to stop, check around the corners, scratch my head, decide if I need to deconstruct, read between the lines, or accept at face value... SO,
How about a reference to Dali? Surrealism is the food of dreams, and what better dream than a legless daddy-longlegs? It would be humorous in the same way that an elephant with chicken legs is funny. And in the telling of it, the only thing that makes any sense is "the banging vacuum of wakefulness." As it happens, I've been studying the mysteries and nature of consciousness... how can something as nebulous as a thought, come from nothing more than a glob of cells? Those thoughts, pouring out from nowhere in a steady shower... If the quantum folks are right, and the universe itself is conscious, well, WHAT A FINALE!

If anyone is going to get caught in a mousetrap sampling peanut butter, it's yours truly. I'm fairly certain that like a good number of poets, I have to be engrossed by the poem first--to expect anything from a reader's attention. I refuse to publish a poem if it doesn't meet that baseline, & if it somehow begins to nag me with a : not-quite, I'll take it down. Dali's a fine pick for dreamland, Swiss Cheese clocks & stilt-legged elephants. He drew surrealistic scenes with such authority, that they almost make sense--become conversant with even a rational mind. As far as Consciousness goes--well, that motherload tends to hurl me into a state of profound overstimulation. Encyclopedically beholden to everything from: Grey aliens to Samadhi. I want to genuinely Thank You for your thoughtfulness in general Vol, peace~
