Oh, do not ask
"What is it?"
To commune with the incommunicable, the untranslateable.
To press an ear to the wall separating one human being from another, and pretend the sounds one hears are truth, rather than shadows in a cave.
To pretend there is such a thing as truth
And to further pretend that such a thing could ever be rendered or written.
To remain chastely unconjugal, unconjugated,
a tense line of tenselessness
traversing time,
form and content to
cross barriers,
no matter how
f
i
n
e
the divide.
