The stolen seed pays dividends
of means and ends
but ...
Let's pretend
(ignoring this)
and magnify our false pretense
In arrhythmic procession
jump to conclusions
stand on ceremony
walk the line
and fall to pieces
And our weakest moment
is the one between
the ups and downs
when we can't find the compass
Magellan and Columbus
have nothing on us.

so it's about the journey, right? the getting there rather then the here or the there?
I like this idea of poetry setting up a standard or a truth and then showing how it defies it, in both this piece and the last piece.
Is this about maps?it feels like it is.
I`m not sure if I agree with the Columbus / Magellan diss, lol!
wow. after a re-read, this is f'ing awesome. seriously.
This, like pretty much everything I write, was very spur-of-the-moment, and sometimes I'm not even sure what I'm writing about specifically. But I would say that the exploration here is interpersonal, and not geographical.
yeah, for sure. that comes through quite clearly.
the 3rd from last stanza is great--
jump
stand
walk
fall
