Baby-blue poets crisping clouds fried symboleers
Motto:
Loud, heap miseries upon us
yet entwine our arts laughters low!
I) Incant / Discant
You, baby –, baby-blue poets
of whom (as I might remember)
"each separate dying ember
wrought its ghost upon the floor"
Listen!
lease me an
amber-armoured Lenore
a digital Lenore
you say I might need
to vanguard my very front door
against merchandised-sub-nuclear-machine-guns-of-whispers
against hamburgerised never & nevermore
You, baaaaaaaby –, baby-blue poets
of whom (I might have been told)
flesh'n blood mechanisms were supposedly trained
by the brave-new-world & later sold
as tourists’ guides – worn-out and stained
&
of whom (I might have been read about)
little grey neural spare-parts
are giving the mile-stoned Angels out
Listen!
lease me an
initiation ticket for the Craft that I believed'it gone
the Craft of signs & words
&
of the signs of the words & so on
You, baaaaaaaby –, baby-blue poets
dressed in baby-blue silk suits, baby-blue collars & baby-blue ties
of whom (I might say)
poem-like-sacred-books never vanishes or dies
Listen!
lease me an
Arcimboldian look
to de-compose thy faces
to LCD-ers, onliners, & blog mongers
& win their goodwill, benevolence, and graces
for visions of ‘once-upon-a-time’ and ‘had-beens’
visions of true/good/beautiful never revealed before
by your paper-back so called Lenore
by your pixelised never and/or nevermore
II) Fowl revelation
& the baby-blue poets eventually came by…
Like the smoke of dead leaves burned late in autumn came by—in fact it was one of them only who came by.
& as he came by, I saw an old man. All dressed in white shrouds.
“There is no more baby-blue poet left,” he said.
"Sub Divinitate triumviro poetae sunt...gladiator, bombardarius, iustitiarius. Ac hi omnes sub se habent particulares artifices," he said.
