silence ensues

 
 
. . . . . A new lucidity
floods our frontal lobes
Silence creates a spate of instant upon instant fundamental
insights
into the structure of existence
our investment is paying death-defying dividends
free at last we are happier with every breath
when suddenly noise
light sirens beeping alarms
your time is up
WHAT?
My silence is over?
Thread of thought unravels
All remains unrevealed as
noise of existence resumes
I must call my broker/priest
Put in an order for another decade of silence

Sure

What’s your bid?
Everything
Forever

Silence, like moderation, may work for monks. Other have to speak, or shriek, or bark as needs be.

Like your fairly eloquent shrieks kontra-Kirby on Faville's zionist-poetics site. We have been silenced--by Faville, Kirby O, and Ron Silliberg &Co

es muy feo....it's ugly--but is it any fuglier than real life?/ La luche, as the paisas say. It's a fight, hermano...for truth and justice, even, and like authentic..poetics for lack of a better term. We can't let the nazis win...or zionist-bolsheviki for that matter...yours is a heroic struggle, jh---St. Ed Dorn's on yr side! chariots of fire, hermano! Summon Apollo from Parnassus's snowy heights, and commandeth the rogues back into their tartaric dwellings..yea
