Poem: 1,000, or While Listening to House

--

"A History of Painting" -Frank Brangwyn

1,000 tales

1,000 songs

1,000 beats

Each a fragment of reproduction,

Dimensions of the theoretical space

Of someone I have never known,

Profundity like boxes checked

-The old relatable-

She is a sprinkle of appealing,

Differénce at the center of the loop,

A normal peak expressed,

Quaintly at the dinner table or

Menacingly upon shadowed streets.

Bent angles and charm,

There’s a natural expose within the sounds,

Her body reclined at synthetic angle,

Whispers of traces…

The curtain opens to

The gown unzipped.

Undressed,

What is beneath but silence?
