<center><h1>At the bottom of the pond</h1>**original poetry**</center> ___  ___  <center>...</center>  ___ <center>From the cosmogonal surface Drilling through gristle and vegetation Are maelstroms carving subtle rills through My psyche of rutilated quartz.<br> The potions long worn off, I face the dull-glowing city sky And the fumes of its insanity With a circuit smile.<br> I tap the symbol stamp pad With slender fingers that Know well their mortal tenor.<br> Here I am under the surface of Thin, colorless, unviscous ocean: A flying fish cudgeled by the whims Of the universal skin's paroxysms.<br> Color-between-the-lines of bland seasons, Child skipping rope and bruising its knee, Overripe fruit with tar spots, Vancant hotel or the Starport of a civilization Long dead with its paint peeling.<br> The Not I Am knowing its insignificance, Writing obsolete reminders to be posted First thing in the morning.<br> Typewriters spewing reverse smoke, Stories being unwritten (plotlines, my fibre lineage) People becoming unborn (the auburn cynics & saints of moss) Love being unmade (diamond in the slag) Meaning being unlost (paths down the vicious slopes) Smoke transublimates into text.<br> No one will read the tomes of glass. No one will sigh the tears of agony. No one will seek the rifts of cloud, Except the swimmer at the bottom Of the cosmogonal pool.</center> ___  <center>...</center>  ___  ___  ___  <center><h2>Written by @d-pend 2/11/18 . with photos by</h2>**.
