Poems - Because I know, Therefore I Am...Aren't I?

Because I know, Therefore I Am...Aren't I?

by MichaelFirewalker

gonna feast upon that oil slick
called awareness

gonna freeze it and dissect it
slice it thick and thin

thaw it undetected
dripping uncorrected
trickled down privacies of mine
both outside time and in

will fuse it anatomically
record its fine behind
as mechanics undefined
though highly rarefied

then run it
til I’m terrified
sublimated heat inside
bolts of sleek decision

brain-honed precisions
of hot, white thought
lightning split and spit
into ego’s hungry mind
its newest multi-plexed
quick-fit division

see?
there it is!

I think…

my perfect
existential permanence
buried in the blinds

of forgot

SAME POEM IN FAR FEWER WORDS

I am bolts of sleek decision

brain-honed precisions
of hot, white thought .

I am lightning split and spit
multi-plexed divisions
of existential permanence
buried in the blinds of forgot.

AGAIN, ONE THIRD SHORTER STILL

bolts of sleek decision
brain-honed precision
I am
white-hot thought
buried in the existential
blinds of forgot

original, and a good metaphor about trying to remember or thinking of ideas and/or the loss of ideas.
