While

John G. Young, MD

While poets write surface words
paradoxically penet/rating
consciousness
where feelings go deep,
I blow a/part language,
words and syntax,
with p(h/r)oton guns,
accelerated with
sl/ashes and paren(theses
into elemental particles,
underlining letters,
hidden meaning,
qua(i/r)ks, strange associations,
new, clear spin, [apologies for the pun]
wormholes
to other dimensions,
and wonder how to relate
to poets
of color, sound and smell
from my tiny soundless universe.
