Symptoms of the Idiot
Symptoms of the idiot:
Encourageable practices
Romantically fed
Overflowing with diluted meaning.
Confusion erupting
From the mouth of
An improperly enlarged
Ego.
Putrid repulsive
Excitement stemming
From an already decayed weed
And yet …
Unaffected.
Meaningless Review
And above all,
The night streams
A superficial film
Upon the day’s revelations,
Creating immunity
Of thought.
Engulfing the epiphanies
Of life
Into
Meaningless,
Torrential downpours
Of empty and hollow words.
The Soul Sings
What’s bigger than life?
Love challenges
Every chamber of the heart.
But not like death.
Love gives the heart a tune-
A song to whistle.
While death stops
The song altogether
And every chamber transcends
Beyond this life
Showing the soul how to
Sing instead.
