Ordered Pairs

We are all ordered pairs-

That makes a difference

In giving substance to our meaning

Timelines scattered-

By buckshot-

Pennies, quarters, shrapnel mess-

Diagrams plot us,

Here and everywhere-

Are we nothing but proportional fonts?

Characters & devourers of space

Oftentimes in a life of varying dependency-

Processed solely in protected mode-

When the arm is severed from the leg-

Our voices squelch, our hands regroup the sides

Strychnine, Curare

When powdering of seeds

Spasms may occur-

Uneven breaths taken

Hard-Boiled Flash-Fried

A piranhic fervor

Mashes slivers of contraband

Performing analytical gyrations governing

Stasis lariats plot and contextual unrest jots the clots

Beneath the freshly painted

Drying drip, enlarging the rather primitive gargantuan of diffusive tryst

A frigid portal balanced to

Temporal tracts of subterfuge

Lashed and leashed atop below

Flash frozen, hard-boiled symptomatic rungs of throe

Days rise, nights fall

Evening the promiscuous spawn

Articulating the sun’s pre-modulated yawn

Alive the art, influx of fuse

Feelings gripped until the rouse

Marked by sectors, hours minutes seconds

Abbreviated by imaginary stops, starts, pause and magnetic glares

Mourning requites the night-like tear

Transitioning quick from hear to their, bordering upon

Furnished lawns with chairs stacked beside pool-like ponds

Symmetric long-views stammering over conically inclined tinsel fawns

And so goes the mercantilian, with it’s sable skin and cryptic grin…
