SEAL FISSURE CLOSING

Back dates,
Director
Speilberg,
Construct sets,
Do the dress up wedding scene.
Restaurant across catty-corner,
There waiter recognize set too!
Recalled
Location's earth in three parts,
Extended
Inside out to encircled orb again.
Seal fissure
Closing
Part in
Part out,
Caught in opening....
Back dream
How long a musician?
Since before was born.
I am,
Have always been an artist,
Own nothing
Just passing through.
Always who and what I am,
Not waiting,
Doing has precedence...
Concepts - unimpeded
Co-op with inevitable....
Nature.
Ice rink,
The long way round to present,
Close down here,
Retire,
The night!

A 'MAJOR' SHIFT

During the night,
Readying to go to work,
Speaking, stretching limbs
Through canvas,
Ears verbal thoughts behind
Outward climb.
'Hot spot' enlivens,
Visited or revisited,
According to persons,
Within the frames animated,
Playing the scenes written,
That 'advance' the play,
Being lived.
Using words seems repetitive,
Though circular
Enclosure at times,
Spiraled beneath conceptual
Changes - actions that appear
To be of greater magnitude
By the contrast in the appearance.
For one drops the physical form,
A 'major' shift,
For who may be familiar with and in
Relatedness
To the forms existence.
Be at play in departing company
Move to and from
The same household or city
To another,
Effects relationships physical distance,
Apparent communication forms
To 'stay in touch',
Letters, phone, or computer,
Or even visits from one locale to another.
In the 'major' shift,
Another sense is brought
Forth in the framework's
Interpretation and may
Bring a sense of 'loss' or
Inability to communicate
'Beyond the grave' or
Threshold through which
One has passed.
In this,
One addresses ideas
Permanency and recognizes
Ideas of change and temporal-ness.
