In a corporeal internship...

0 posted 2001-07-17 05:32 PM


(Now that I've posted most of my older poetry and lyrics, I'm ready to dive into some fresh writing and thoughts.  Since my style tends to be lengthy and very strict form and rhyme, I'm going to try something a little different for me:  a new series of poems that I'll call "TWENTY OR LESS..." implying that each will consist of twenty or less words, in free-form style, with the intent of letting the words conjure up subjective impressions and definitions for my readers -- let the previous boundaries of style and form evaporate, for a while, and let's see what your impressions are...  Enjoy!  -MVS)
========================================


Matrixed American life
Across its facade of love
Silently enshrouding spiritless misery
Fight the inertia

I'll have to hear it some time, Connie.  Thanks for the reply.

Thank you, Ron -- this endeavor is proving to be very rewarding and enlightening.

Yes it does, my Lady.  Sometimes the point is all that matters;  other times, you never want to get to it...
