Prolix

.

Endlessly wordy, verbose, way too long –

lengthy, discursive, protractedly rambling,

gambling with losing the audience’s last

capacities for the abuses to which their sore

psyches and ears had been rawly subjected,

shredded and strained to a murderous brink.

.

How dare I think it would be a success to

proliferate in this thick slick mix – this prolix

excess! Wasn’t it what I’d been taught to do?

When my ovum split into its hells and its

heaven – thirty-seven-point-two trillion cells?

How could anyone bred with that provenance

do fuck-all anything other than spew?

The first thing I was, and the first thing I knew,

was an overkill spill from the one to the few

to the more than I ever could call into view –

which yet somehow collectively came to be

Singular Me, as a similar slew became Singular

.

You. What can you do if you’re made of

a substance like that, but to find and to empty

the ark on Mount Ararat – sort through,

investigate every last gopher and bat – match

every tit with its tat: then take in the whole,

and see if what you had assembled was Soul.
