Plimsoll line

i will now write you a poem titled 'because',

a poem holding no reasons to negate.


-


what makes a cave is the wall drawings. what makes

an ocean is the borders, bord- oh no the lack of them. what

makes a bird is bones obsessed with emptiness

and elbowroom. what makes a cave is you standing outside, wondering

what it hides and pushing in an arm whispering you're

beautiful
as you sense the dark (take it back

along with your arm).what makes an ocean salt water

and nothing more is the shark circling around a ship, thinking that the

ship is big enough for itself and it needs no more.


-


i will now stop pretending that i'm still going to

call this because.

-


what makes a ship is the plimsoll line (ignored)

what breaks a poem is the loose ends let loose.

either this is one of the most carefully and well-written things you've ever done, or you're pure fucking GENIUS
I'm inclined to think it's both

a poem holding no reasons to negate. HAH. I almost missed that one the first time through.
