Form as Function

I

The functional significance implies

I think of what I am where I do not think to think

about the significant thoughts

or a representation

of a terrific metaphor

cold metal sheets

disappointing ambiguity

breaks the surface

of flesh or function

the dream’s entrails

the dream’s entirety

II

Suppose we are significant

in the proper name we signify

to mean the first order

freely implies the second

order of being is ordinal

occasionally an ordination

equivalent in its proximity

between the bars

an over under achievement

admits to the impulse felt

in free falling

faster than the speed of

flying imperfections

arguing currency

arguably trades them in

for a current solution

to the problems of having

been a form of dimension

like the pass through port

where we cease to slide

under the bridges at night

like the shadow of memory

the interminable weight

of lost imaginations

a spark of brief sensations

the confluence of organs

in dialectic we find the

dialogues to run in reverse

pulling back the hem

a gleaming darkness

on the edge of the water

where it met the water

where the waters meet

in the circle of metonyms

we hold between us

or other than our

simple natures naming

frames where we place

the meaning of our name.

f()

(once again is a function of never having been there =	the image is superfluous to the caste of imagination +	we brought the bars in case the night could open again -
inside a two sided mystery hiding in a captive inertia -	if we design it as a process to mean we’ve been here =	dreaming a little less each day has no potential +
the way we ring together the parts of our chain +	to seek the letter’s spirit killers claim the best parts -	armed with senses to see the way back moves forward) =
