Moving Off
(1)
why it should be this way
god only knows
if there was one – or many
whoever invented this position
this way of being
living on the page
in a voice that nobody knows, nor
wants to know: who invented it,
who invented all this
this at least we do together
not
"the royal we" you know…
but
(2)
it seems that it's always
the same setting out, the same
standing still in the one voice
looking at it:
hello again.
ears not chooned to listen
outside of the word,
to skate between
and away from the trampo-
line
and does it matter? maybe not:
let's head off together in this
little soliloquy:
play some music if you're lucky –
if that's who you are, today
(3)
it's too easy
saying
"the craft"
defines
thing-in-itself
unique
to current instance:
but how otherwise
assess
the given syntactic
the visual plane
the page
where pacing can be articulated
