filtering
words through a dictionary
is nothing
but to use words from another mouth
is not enough
and reducing lived life to words
reduces life as if an incomplete formula:
life is a big word
and for big words there are no feelings
and for small words
feelings are too big
and at the beginning
youth thinks
words must be some secret towards progress
as words are provided by the elder like milk
for brain nourishment and entertainment
for history to repeat
there's a narrow frame
only an invisible heavyness inside that picture
and the time-frame for youth
getting shorter
all depiction lies within an imagined frame
as if the world is always nearby
yet it does not open into the daily world
and where there is no frame widening and bursting
all walls are false
made only for hanging things
not for living, but keeping apart
essential language is withheld from youth,
only allowable repetitives
keep on circulating and repeating
stories made by law generating law
much is out of the question,
the blinding frame looks to that -
knowledge need not apply
a sub-class fed word for word wholesome words
ritual and sports require their unitary masters-
roles that allocate, divide
generating invisible frames
