Every so often ^ v ^ v ^
despite the disinclination \ \ \
to do so and the friction /\*/\
which it causes, but not everyday, , , , , ,
I feel the compunction < >
to scrutinize my intentions, ? ? ?
or, =
for a better word, my inclinations / / /
and thus embark on - - -
a trek into the arid sands, ., ., ., ., .,
without enchantment ~ ~ ~
upon a voyeuristic survey o o
of my entire institution or constitution... [ ]
It helps to engage one’s imagination ! `! `! `
to deliver the required penetration > > >
into such an enterprise with undue emotion / / / commotion \ \ \
and fall into the depths of subconsciousness .
I am not surprised at the many manifestations {|’|, |`|; }
which are shown me through this adventurous exploration * or creation *
which I would rather think of as a (re-creation *)
using M. Moore’s quote as a guide -
“no truth can be fully known until it has been tried/ by the truth of disputation”
To be honest ( - ) ,
I believe this is merely a search for some kind of ALEF (BORGES) .
If only I could swing and lasso the “total view of life”. (O)
Such a hippopotamus cannot be taken lightly –– ––
but I have wasted many a year and after much meditation – ummmm –
inner wanderings – ummmm– and even so much subconscious moments
I still find myself wandering in the desert
with no mountain in sight
