Sloganography

Sloganography


The slogan for the day:
Form is emptiness.
And emptiness?
Form.

What I see is what I see,
until I see it, and then
it becomes what my mind
projects onto it.

This poem started out
a slogan, but here we are,
in the eleventh line, and
already the slogan has changed.

We wonder what meaning
the Muse intends to convey?
What if the slogan simply
has no meaning?

What if it was a grand joke?
What if this poem was simply
the gibberish escaping
my dancing penpoint,

as I await my coming
coffee? Coming conveys
nothing! This is simply
a sentence, not a line.

Not an image.

Nothing—

A poem?

Empty!

A blank page with
Words waiting for you,
the Reader, to give
them strength.
