Additional Notes:
I realize many may not appreciate this piece or even take the time to try and "read it", although it is not as difficult as some of my other "pieces". Basically, you read down "Wooden wastrel" until you reach the "knee" of the puppet, "placement, and then back to top to "What thy" reading completly down to "piano", neglecting large open spaces. Then back to the top of the head, to "Willness given" following down to shoulder with "humanity"s chill", back up again to "stored for an eternal" down to the foot, "a being lying", and, finally, back up again to "brained" reading down to conclusion..."puppet dying". The full text formatted regularly would read, The Pixilated Puppet Wooden wastrels dangling by detachment, Molded sculptures scythed serene in placement, “What thy choice? Mortal lives before rest?” Storied saplings, grounded weeds of forest, Each, alone, mere grains of sand in hourglass Hoistered by the AM, to abled ode brass Grated in celestial concerto. So it is, as well, a violin’s bow Bowed on dawning’s amative piano. Willness given, wisdom gained…pehaps be, But what price to pay for knowledge, dearly? Thoughtful lie fallow under shadows Darkened by the lie, atop green meadows, As one childhood fantasy reappears With a butterfly in motion stilled tears, Caught in freeze frame by humanity’s chill, Stored for an eternal moment held still. Due to thy delirium thought dearly, Mind’s “I” visions, not, chilled future, merely. But reflects the dreams entombed in marbled Hearts of man where message, sent, lies garbled. History, be judge? Perhaps, if meant be, With return of heaven’s Mercury; He, But a particle, as well, decrying Too afar for such a being lying Brained…Jehovah’s precious puppet dying!
