wordform

i've been scrawling stories in less words
than i think with, balking on these condensed
narratives like condensed soup from cans that
i found on the backs of shelves: date 5/5/1915
best before. best before i realize that the words
aren't really worth it; sometimes its hard to try
and reconcile things - what is a writer? what is a
poet? where does this even go?

poetry is the basic creation of a word form.
prose is the expansion of word form.
conversation is the dilation of word form.
thought is the purest word form.
thought is the word form that the men can only see shadows of on the wall.
