is a poem is

is a poem is


as the sculptor said

the sculpture is there in the rock

already

there in the dictionary 

and the thesaurus 

the acronyms the synonyms

the meter and the alliterations

personifications onomatopoeia

all the etceteras

in the all the brain cells

of everyone who has lived

or will live


there


is THE poem


like a grain of sand dropped into superheated water

an explosion waits

the grain of sand is there in the timer

the water boils in you


like a stick in a candyfloss machine

a bomb down a mortar tube

the rising sun

a supernova 


when all this falls from it


there


is THE poem


when poets procreate

in an orgy of social loneliness 

the singularity of a single thought

can create a universe

a bookworm-hole

a crossing


look me in the eye of my words


this

is MY poem 

surfed in like a wave
