Be Simple and Clear


By the gospel of torturous traditions
By vulgar contradictions
By the domestication of the cursed and damned
By your old world moth-eaten words
By drowning in assiduous absolutes
By irregular irrational flow
By following fiercely
                            frantic
                                      furious
                                              forceful
                                                              adaptations
Of curiously wagging stranger tongues

By bitterly speaking brutalities
By hidden sombre pleasure
By disparate fatalities
By ambiguous anointing projected in reflected silence
By approachable sovereignty sorrowfully swallowed
By unimaginative unaccountable uncompromising cardinal arrogance
By a calloused
                sleeping
                        outlaw
                                  youth
By an indifferent closeness that laments hostile love

By fear of defeat desertion dystrophic destruction
By fear of manic maniac krazy 
By fear of strange dreams rubbing their eyes
By fear of eyes closed ears closed mouths closed hearts closed
By fear of chains cuffs locks links barriers bars

By fear no more!
By guilt no more!
By pain no more!

By jovial joyous joyous joy!
By deciphering Whitman's annotations
'be simple and clear'
I too am the poet of the body!
I too am the poet of the soul!
