I was the Featured Poet at Stone Soup on Monday, April 20 and met both Chad Parenteau and Jason Wright then. I’m very grateful for that evening! This is the first piece I read that night and I dedicate it to Confident Truth Holders.
Mercury RetroWhoops
I heard I heard I heard
The truth
The set up
The candela
I heard I heard I heard
Whispers echoing as closed mouths morph into turned backs and matters of fact return to exact
The point
The point is not
I heard I heard I heard
The point is
Clearly viewed from the points of view of The Those There
Some of The Those There
Choose non-participatory whispers
It’s not actions speaking louder than words
It’s words activating Action
I heard I heard I heard
Is merely a fraction
Of Root.
It’s a forest out there of many branches and different fruits and flowers in bloom at the base of heights
Heights remaining out of sight
Low level knuckle dragging cave grunts
I heard.
I bring my picnic basket and lay on greener grass
It’s on the other side of smoldering lips
Guess what’s for dinner?
The Truth.
I know I know I know.
Your secret’s safe with me.
