I haven’t
put them
in Producers’
letterboxes
for recording
studios
in times of lyrical
shortage.
I did stencil
some
on placards
of low tide
sand, leaving
behind the business
card of the lonely
calling
love of Poetry.
Left alone
they aren’t
even printed—
Schrödinger’s
poems
in a
laptop.

When I take
my Hobo
walkabout
again
it’ll be
with a coin
-toss
of which didge
& one
or two of those hex
shapes
to open bins—
everything
you’ll need
you’ll get:
munny, food—
unopened
items in their use-by
dates, clothing,
water, shelter,
though, by time
within yourself,
the body emits
intention
from the plough-shed
of the male
earning wages
to the prepaid
itinerary of holidays
and I’ll suppose
it looks like
bravery
to the guilty—as I bath,
bask, in
the pitying looks
judged a creature failed
by the passing Shodwells,
who see a homeless nodevout,
but sister, it’s a new
and living manuscript,
a hatful of cooling coins, a plan
to place an architect
ahead of time, to scout the
brother-minerals to feed
a body singing
into death
the simple, light travel
of sound through a stick
and symbols from a writing
tool
spoken more in jest,
a sign, that I may aim for
align this moment now with.
i get this, and like it – Fab, as Peter says
What a fab poem, Dean, love the reference to Schrödinger’s poems on the laptop, are they there, not there? Truly only known until your turn on the power…and the ending is a knock-out… those sounds through the ‘stick’ didgeridoo…

Although a lot of this is over my head I get the gist and it’s good to stretch my remaining brain cells.
