A penchant for organizing..

 

A penchant

for naming 

appears as habit~

a surrender

of immediacy

and a launching

of stories which

allows many

appearances of

characters

acting in most 

familiar ways~~ 

 

A word is everyword~~

 

A word

may seem to

dismiss a meaning

and yet accept 

all meanings~

everyword appearing

as a word~~

Turn the beam inward..

Turn

the beam

inward

although there

is no one to

turn it..

but the storied

beam when so

turned will

search indefinitely 

to find 

Nothing at all

and perhaps 

nothing out there~~

Words are stories~

 

Everything

named is

a story~

If a word appears

there's a story

regardless of

any intention 

of no story..

who intends?

Genesis and Darwin~

 

Genesis 

and Darwin

told stories

which start fights

defending

this or that~

freedom sacrificed

on a fearful fence~~

This or that~

 

The

imagination

finds a point

intersection

that seems 

to find 

this or that

indefinable~

nothing winks

and departs~~

Holding categories of thought with tenacity~

 

Concocting

stories which

have legs

and seem to

explain what 

the universe

is and does..

after a while

these stories

seem to relieve

the fear of

not knowing~~
