"How Thee Can See Poetry Like Me" by Gary Nelson


 


If you want to see poetry like me, 
thats a good thing, I'll lay my secrets on thee,
If you don't want to see poetry like me,
well that's too bad, too late to turn back now, hehe ;]

There's this constant tick of time,
always going on in our head,
what you have to do is get inside that clock,
then stop it in it's tracks, like boots full of lead.

Once time has stopped,
you have to navigate the scene,
Sherlock Holmisize the shit out of every bit 'til its wiped clean,

with a keen eye sweep,
leave no surface visually untouched,
get every nook an cranny,
dust bunnies had better rush.

Once you have explored this scene
and seen all you can see,
step back and see what the visual notes reveal,
to see what themes you can see.. you see?

Take these themes
and tie them together,
Till they're light as a helium balloon,
and will float like a feather.

They'll manifest into a nest, which'll house a bird,
the best part of that is not the bird, but it's turd.
See it goes and picks little seeds of ideas, then takes off into the sky,
Going where it pleases, and letting it's little bird turd-bombs fly.

If these ideas are good, they will SPLAT! – take seed and grow.
And hey guess what? Now there's more scenery to get to know ;]
