Vague

Vague

Vague is vogue
and old as words
and unknown
and new to
nouns not quite verbs

obscurity has
a place in history

in obscurity

words like the celebrated confetti of permutation

‘Boy, you got about as much individuality as a fart in a hot tub’

words pregnant and sentences on welfare

[We spill into sheets,
half-asleep,
existing
between
the batting of lashes,
awake in blurry spaces
between darknesses,
dizzy, alone.
Like flourishes of memory tied together with sweet lies]

The clear-minded
obscurantist
surely
suffers more
than
the
hazy
mind
does
with clarity.

Words are to man what marketing is to man's words. Yup
All else is
aria
onanism
glossolalia

that is,
singing solo
wacking off
speaking in tongues

the reader suffers to understand
or the writer suffers to be understood

are you a sadist or masochist?

ultimately producing
a single victim
