Ideas of Symbolism (Insp. by William Carlos Williams)


No ideas but in things. Say it.
Because the best ideas have no ideas.
This is my idea, something devious and powerful and
When ideas occur, I altar my sense
Of what things are.

This is not a poem.
Ink on paper
not thoughts and emotions not love or guilt
The worm is in our brains and it changes matter
to something that matters

Rose≠Heart≠Love≠Change≠Improvement≠Construction
Pix-elated in a picture too detailed to notice
Plummet from a peak so tall the houses and farms and
cities and countries and continents and oceans are
Just patches.
Of green.
And grey.
And yellow.
And blue.
And white.
