           2D WORLD 

-

     The flat line

-

----------------------------

-

night and day a black square / white

the undulations of letters

                                    ( arc close; arc far, )

lacking perception of depth

slate - grey graphite thoughts

paper thin to begin 

                              with

a child - like stick man     but     I

can     jump     and     if     I      turn

     on     my     side     I     become     I

exploring the curvature of circles

with a worm - like intensity of skin

     colour registers as a slight

reflection of faint pastel skies

on stark blank background

height and length of character

     -     almost infinite     -

until the hand cramps begin

width is always

the finest film of ink

-

                                    in flatliner land

-

Do I feel the inky black scratch of

my being coming into being,

with every stroke of the nib ?

-

yes, I do.
