raggedy andy

A Poem by kmartell
"

still needs some work, put it back on the lift, rotate its tires, maybe its the timing chain...i dont know....

"

we move through the trackless waste of the newfound moment

steering

though we need not steer

                      against all this white noise, this answer

is broken and fixed at the same time, a here and now

        is proving us false and true…

 

    

 

time is not a punishment nor a bright toy, nor immanent, not eminent

not finally anything

as we turn toward the old raggedy self

 

 

 

a doll… a partition for the meaning of life

a sewn mouth, buttons for eyes

 

 

 

we contemplate all our fortunes from it’s endlessly sewn simple enigma...as it stares up at us from it's bedroom chair
