if poetry don't cross the memes
< dr.jd live at Chillits 2004 | Kerry vs. Bush, and media bias >

if poetry

if poetry
is the truest expression of the self
then what does it mean
that I have been avoiding poetry,
clamping down on the flow of words
because I know
that somewhere in those words
I may remember that I love you.

and if
like sisyphus with his boulder
I were to recommence struggling uphill
toward some idealized vision of what we could be
could we be that? or,
would the boulder crush these dreams again,
paving the way (I'd like to think)
for the future, yet always
glinting like shards of mica in the concrete
and occasionally,
when the sun is lined up perfectly,
blindingly unavoidable.

(this is not
the entire concept
yet)
