Circling Round Everything #2
2018🌝🌚🎭🌠⏳📚
What a charming happenstance!
Happy chance!
Twenty eighteen, book eighteen.
To get this out,
What will it be about?
Don’t know,
But I’ve been crowing
Like a maniac, a lunatic;
Known in better circles as enthusiastic,
Devotee!
Crazy about poetry –
Let us say, creating it.
The whole year long, as good as daily:
Unpretentious, chatty, gayly,
Full of idiom and slang,
Language common, language spoken,
Token jargon,
Arlene Corwin’s origin.
Yet like Dante Alighieri,
Layered: yin and yang,
Intense and prescient
Yet detached. Discerning,
Simple, perspicacious, riotous
Funny and absurd;
At times, confessionally worried.
All year long, I’ve pierced balloons
In order to expel delusions,
The illusions duping us.
Thus,
Book eighteen
Circles around everything
That’s One at bottom.
