extort purpose by Matthew Sharp seconds and centuries multiplication unkown measurements by imagination infinity settles on the scale sight passed through time a new eye impales eternal veils screaming in shock mocked by constant birthing unearthing planet grain of sand its unable to be labeled balancing its stride like an hourglass on its side lies and fables turn the tables unequal pressure flips the box and grinds its treasures exalted in thoughtless awareness effortless effort 09/19/2009 Posted on 09/20/2009 Copyright © 2025 Matthew Sharp Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Shannon McEwen on 09/20/09 at 04:01 AM I like this, I absolutely love the images these lines provoke: "infinity settles on the scale" (made me actually cringe!)
