making copies by Matthew Sharp sour fruit for the sugar coated that get devoted to what their friends enrolled in embolden the course your holding a gear for a master remote controlling us into dust crusty infected stumps of isolated shadows born into individuality for the trip but taking it too literate without compromise words are arrogant lies that i find in the roof of my mind but there is no roof just another lie to entrap the essence of 'i' spreading it out like light through a prism to fill the life within social replication a stone shift to sand sifting away from ancestral memories knowledge, will, and honor 10/24/2007 Author's Note: a shadow in the wind will walk upstream and destroy the source. a priori Posted on 10/25/2007 Copyright © 2024 Matthew Sharp Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 10/25/07 at 04:26 AM I almost wish that note came in the poem. Either way, brutal stuff, man. It's never a dull moment around these parts. Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 10/25/07 at 06:41 AM Powerful images of shadow and dust filter through this intense visionary experience. From "controlling us into dust" to "a stone shift to sand" the distillation of the individual...if at all possible, opposes and interrupts the common replication process. The ending is magnificent--where the "ancestral memories" leave off-- "knowledge, will, and honor" actions of the individual beyond the "making copies" stage-- gives a vision of the possibility of individual free creative expression.
