32 | "About words" [pantoum]

No more poems about words!
no more lines about lines!
birds can sing about birds
poems sing about minds
no more lines about lines!
draw a box around that
poems sing about minds
using minds to ground that

draw a box around that
place it on a table
using minds to ground that
make the substance stable
place it on a table
microscope its matter
make the substance stable
store it on a platter

microscope its matter
where is mind in utterance?
store it on a platter
bring the bread its butterance
where is mind in utterance?
must it always shout words?
bring the bread its butterance
no more poems about words!
