A Concrete Cloud

A thousand words about the ineffable written on a balloon demarcating air that’s in and out stuck in a tree that the wrong dog wasn’t barking at but rather identifying dendrology as dermatology. Slapstick poetry like how the light let through the cucoloris occludes clouds, paints pictures on the wall. All the poets want to be singers, drummers shooting guards, web designers gardeners, spiders who knows. Splitting rhythms and patterns while we name birds by their calls, flowers by their followers. Somewhere I had noted that real fake grass is fake real grass and real real grass is fake fake grass. The teacher says there’s no such thing as a double positive and the back of the room offers: yeah right. Sometimes language is a syntactic math puzzle doubling and undoing and sometimes it is a series of intensifiers building as the sentence does. We head this way and that, sometimes making structure by looking back. myth hymns / thy / myrrh / my rhythms.
