PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Vergil managing the business of the farm;

Bronk in the lumberyard, Eliot at the bank,

Mallarme in the classroom, Stevens' on Executive suite:

these, inherently insufficient, gave way to more

satisfaction provided by their Poetry:

which cancelled the unravelings of entropy

and preserved in their soul's an integrity

that will not allow even the possibility

of the hovering approach of impotent flaccidity,

and the wreaking of havoc and harm,

the absence of presence, the silence and the blank,

or the delusions and temptations of conceit.

Here and now, in this local reality,

the vagaries that have haunted and tainted identity

are resolved in the screen name's precision

which achieves the preparatory completion

beyond temptation's too persuasive perfidy

or the clodhoppings of old prudes' and haters' galore.
