Papers

Paper, if it were a day, a period, an era, or what you call it as something related to a piece of time, is represented by a moment or moments or accumulated moments; the experienced one/s.

"Blackened by the dirt" is, simplified, when the piece of time gets another color. unfortunately, the color is black so that it blurs the paper.and another paper is torn, and "you" are the one who "tore" it. strangely, "you" buy "me" another paper.. but "I'll take it later"...

The paper, it seems to me,is a ready-stock one. and the moment of tearing it down will still on the future, 'till the end of the letter containing the papers. the end of...something. the finished letter.

Frankly speaking, the use of paper imaged white and the color chosen as the blurring devil seems to dichotomize the colorful colors into only two dog-cat relationship.

I'ts a note. a note of experiencing and ending the accumulated moments..the blur is over. the letter is finished in a full-torn papers. and the period?

the letters were sick
of the department of the skull
they were
falling
down
gathering
themselves
at the
feet of
the rainbow

pushing those heavy sensitive periods
down to the bottom page to perfumes to urinal
to sorrow-in-sorrow to the abyss,
rock n' rolling all night with the shuddering trees
beneath the starry phantom of the night
sexual sensations death a cluster of brilliant minds
beers of the last money a chicken soup of poetry
protesting the death penalty,
scrabbling themselves from Atlantic to Pasific from A to Z
from sideroad to sideroad to parks to street joining
to protest the blind heavenly oil to hospital to jail
to cemetery to buses to motorcycles to ships
airplanes from left to right of the graphical map
of Indonesian tropical islands which are Indonesian
corrupted tropical islands,

they bared every sober morning of the mind
commiting confessing suffering singing
for the darkest glory of the souls the ancient souls
beating through the Time through the Body
through the Eternity
they eventually got curable times
for any things there'd be Time
they eventually got textual smileys
for the textual smileys now in their graphical bodies

the letter(
is (are) even more confusing
than just a code, a sign, a symbol
since other complementary codes, signs, symbols
are attached to it (them)

the punctuations!

they are both spoken and written
even thought by
they are more pragmatic rather than semantic
they are prosodic rather than acoustic
they are suprasegmental rather than articulatory, or even auditory

then, why bother the letter(?
there are miscellaneous of it (them)
they are both public and private
they are both locally geographical and inter-connected
they are both deliberate and arbitrary

are they?

punctuations!

and the paper?
is it significant?
the meaning!

or, did i do bad poetry reading?
