Imaginary Notion
Google Eagle looking for prey
A poem by Alan Sondheim
when i talk with incompletion
sometimes there comes a notion
that someone owns completion
an imaginary notionasking campers riddled questions
is riddling walls of the camps
someone who no longer questions
is no longer roll-called in the campsgrey stained red and sutured mouths
no one ever gets out of here
bodies are nothing but mouths
the rest no longer hereobscene half in obscene half out
this is the primal scene
it never happened or worked out
just repetitious scenearrows fly like cursors hasten
better get out of the way
space itself seems to hasten
time imprisoned one waytime has no time to rupture time
space is only residue
of time confined to confine time
time is residue
