MAINLY BECAUSE

Folder: 
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS

 

Mainly because

the pure flow

is what I seek;

the drifting rafts

on the Mississippi River

lead us to Hannibal

 

and thru

the sulking madness

of yesterday’s delight

the voice of munchkins

is cast aloud in the skies;

 

the chiming ceilings

of mansion’s delight;

the ecstasy of mongrels

sung aloud by misers

scrounging in the field;

 

the whithering remains

are scattered across

the earth

in mock communion

of dynamic vision

and concrete realism.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

not sure when I wrote this one.  I'm guessing from the style, it's an early 90's poem.
