Feel ideas acutely, and meditate slowly upon sentiment.
-Juan Ramón Jiménez
from Christopher Maurer's The Complete Perfectionist, pg. 113
Notion swims concept's ocean
where the whales sing
and barracuda gather
breathing water for air
or coming up for a quick
breath to strike a position.
It's more dense down there,
sounds moves like electricity
through a copper coil.
Stand on a boat or on land
and don't expect the message
to manage without attention --
whispers disappear in soft breezes
while sadness congregates
on thunder's foreboding head.
Anger strikes
but can be lead to ground
by a well placed copper coil.
Sit on this newfound charge.
Wait to access long enough
and it will disperse.
