On the Non-existence of Carrots
by
Frank Valentyn
Within these well-defined layers
consensually structuring comfort
lie names undiscovered
chemistry no longer biochemical
far evolutions of connectivity
developments of interrelation
over-familiar constellations of mystery
that appeal as rigid and chewable
There's star-stuff here
encrypted but undisguised
fractal blends of infinity
metaphysics-salad microcosm
whispers of an Atomos in
inverse reductio ad absurdum
rather: prorogatio ad confusum
definitely orange, easily evidenced
and completely imperceptible
Bite one of these things
(if you wish to use that verb approximation)
with those homologues of Saurian equipment -
explicate principles of toothness
modernised and miniature:
gently attack, shred
crunch, crucify
mundanely unify
essence of selves
bonding phase of common destinies
but wonder what newly pulses
in the transience of your carotid pressures
where it came from and what it measures
