The first line was written
and it took electrons rotating
to create dialogue
Before looking was possible
there was the essential,
the need for,
the no other choice
but
deliverance by a sound.
Light was failing
even as it was
made so
And all things immaculate
were covered in dust
undisturbed -misunderstood-
as final period.

Reminds me of when I was in school and had to turn on my brain so to speak to write an assignment.

I’m getting Genesis, Quantum Physics and the end of the universe depicted in both Biblical and Astrophysical terms, but that’s just me. It put me in mind of images of galaxies, vast bright gas clouds, along with the Time Machine’s hero’s view of the end of time. All of this shot through with a sense of questioning and uncertainty. A truly excellent piece of writing. Puts me in mind of Modernist poetry, especially Robert Lowell, in terms of where you choose to end the lines. Once again great poetry.

Modernism’s influence on me is almost inescapable. Thanks for the insightful comment.

I’m enjoying the anarchy of this, as well as the order!

thanks. i love the fact that you used the word ‘anarchy.’ i’ve been reading felix feneon and he was all about anarchy and ‘words at liberty’ which is the secret mantra of futurist writers such as klebnikov and onwards to disjointed writers such as myself.
