Ellen Marsell said:
Your poem wears irony like an armor, but underneath it there is something very vulnerable. Well written!

Imaginary journey
Ellen Marsell said:
In a world like this, one can preserve freedom only by creating an inner distance, becoming an observer, an imaginary traveler. I enjoyed the symbolic whirlwind and the touch of surrealism in your poem. Very interesting imagery.

It is not the belief but what you believe that dictates what you see. We are all travelers. Nice one

Abnormal family
sorenbarrett said:
Genius breeds madness as thoughts separate from the normal mass. Other dimensions arise where all a point now there is length and soon height. Fly me to the moon as the Neandertal looks up and the men in white suits run with their butterfly nets rounding up Newton and Einstein sent to the mad house for crimes against humanity. Jung fights Freud for his Oedipus complex after seeing his mother naked. It\'s a nightmare of the mad.

The poem unfolds across multiple layers, like a descent through the stairway of the mind.
Amazing work!

Philosophers would call this radical nihilism.
Congratulations, humanity, we are officially lost.

Paradise has been sold out since two minutes after the tickets went on sale. They need a larger venue but maybe tickets can be bought from scalpers. At twice the good deeds required for entrance the price is set but the tickets are forgeries and one is off to jail.

Prelude
Ellen Marsell said:
In this poem, music sounds like a judgment upon humanity: the bow touches the string just as history touches a wound - mercilessly and precisely.

Sensuous and seductive the left handed one. Why do we beat the fiddle, such a siren\'s tone. Our mornings are always the refuse of yesterday and tomorrow but a dream away. Amour an executioner following orders. Where you see a cuspidor I see a bed pan. Always loved Paganini and as for Barett must be a relative mine has two r\'s. Good one my friend a fave

Armistice
Ellen Marsell said:
Peace is not the same as healing.
An armistice is not the same as reconciliation.
History, when not fully confronted, sows once again the furrow of the mass grave.

Armistice

War where brothers hug with bayonets between them, where sisters kiss poisonous thoughts, where fathers loose their crops and mothers loose their seed. In all this loss could we not drink to the success of all and thin the population so there would be adequate parking spots.

Every time we begin to speak of sacrifice as a necessary condition for a higher goal, we are already standing at our own inner pyre.

The poet, stripped of illusions, becomes a prophet, and poetry - a revelation.
An excellent, deeply philosophical text!

Was not Abraham to offer up his son Isaac on the alter, a burnt offering and who would pick those bones? A family picknick perchance? Greasy smoke indeed if in his laziness he had grown fat off too many video games. A prophetic poem that seems a revelation but may be a book of acts or even a genesis if not an exodus. Heaven help us.

The youth of the characters lives as if existence could be turned into an endless summer. But the world does not owe them their utopia. It is a clash between hedonism and time and time inevitably wins.

We all think we travel but there is no such thing for all time is one instant and all places are one as all things are unified into one singularity. A wonderful write my friend that within that singularity this poem exists
