Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening.

I’m with you in Rockland
where we are great writers on the same dreadful typewriter

I’m with you in Rockland
where we are great writers on the same dreadful typewriter

Who dreamt
and made incarnate gaps in Time & Space
through images juxtaposed,
and trapped the archangel of the soul between 2 visual images
and joined the elemental verbs and set the noun
and dash of consciousness together
jumping with sensation of Pater Omnipotens Aeterna Deus
to recreate the syntax and measure of poor human
prose and stand before you speechless and intelligent and shaking with shame

Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.

Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.
