An Ugly Poem

Far too philosophical and just
Lacking imagery

Overlapping or side by side, intertwined
emphasis, color, leading lines, rules of thirds
lists of negatives, another light
dodging or burning
art and beauty, the disturbing
the differences, the uncertain
certitude, fortitude, beauty and the ultimate
objective good

Seeking, seeking, wandering
excitability and extremes
anti-art longing for the simplicity of beauty
of something to be beheld
treasured,
of that which cannot be mistaken:
beautiful.

free will in observation, attention
taken away, taken apart

Of all there is to seek
beauty and the Great Beyond
reconciling irreconcilable inferences
art for the sake of art itself
beauty and the divine
something entirely beyond us
also being with us

Wants and needs, investments and future
impressions of poverty
and the fears of wanting, needing
delinquency, fervor, indecisive
instruments, machinery, conveyance
longing beyond desire or relationship
To have, get, become, endeavor
unbecoming differences
currencies in lifestyle, persistent needs
branding sensibility
