Bodies, Names, Carnage

 

 

All these bodies

 

What do they have to do

with their names?

 

All these names

 

What ever is their relationships

with their bodies?

 

Dying is a matter of decency

 

Living is a priority

 

I'm floating below the ceiling lamp

 

My body is just a precaution;

light, slender, tight,

of any age I choose:

 

Magnificent mechanics,

brain cells browsing

 

Time just a way to make room

 

I'm fabulously easy to operate;

light & responsive

 

I rose into this warm energy,

without enjoying blood & flesh one bit

 

It was a way to partake

in this once in a universe carnage,

balancing on the tip of my pen;

the ink a succession of memories dripping off

down the page,

each thought sprinkled like semen

 

Self evidence contains a large number of steel cubes

placed in a complex order

 

Love is a cold set of facts that no one respects,

everybody obeys

Comment for Griffonner:
Well, I don't really know either - but I've had the thought - in religious terms, from the time, believe it or not, in the 1970s and 80s, when I was studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses, that, since Man was made in the god's image, there is a totally different way to exist, and that the body is but a long, unnecessary detour, and that I have it as a precaution if the other way doesn't work... See..?

Ingvar, I feel this is a very observational poem that is almost meditational. I wonder why your body is just a precaution? I feel as though I am ignorantly missing something there, because otherwise it is really fine reading.
Blessings, Allen
