Parable of Maturation

Photo/Poem 1 Minute 










 
 controllers
 on the tube
 

 this junk itself as
                         sex
 

 mechanical       in the beginning
 the illusion
       then language
                dictates
 what we see hear smell
 

 sell shill
 sham honor among fools
 

 unbelievable voices
             never stopping
 will not shut up
 

 authenticating existence - 
              but whose?
              yours? theirs? mine?
 

 you never know what to expect
 so locked up, safe in the shadows
 

 without surprise
 

 listening for train whistles
 smelling burning leaves
