MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE CIRCLE
PHILLIP MCDUFFIE JACKSON 1988 (BOSTON)
July 22I SEE FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE EYE
MY PRIZE IS YOUR LIES
MY PRIDE CARRIES TURPENTINE
IT'S HOW YOU INTERPRET LINES.
I'M NOT A LINE FOR THE CULTURE
I MOVE IN CIRCLE ANGLES LIKE A VULTURE
CIRCLE ANGLES LIKE A ROTOR
CIRCLE ANGLES, NO JOHN TRAVOLTA
CIRCLE ANGLES ALWAYS WRESTLE BUT NO KURT ON MY POSTER
CIRCLE ANGLES, THE UNIVERSES LINGUISTIC SCULPTURE
SOMETIMES I'M IRATE, AND TEMPERAMENTS LIKE A VOLCA...(THAT'S A VOLCANO)
I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT EXPLAIN THOUGH...
THAT MY LINGO'S NOT FOR THE LAME SHOW OR ANY LAME SHOW
DIFFERENT PERSONAS IS TO BLAME FOLKS
SHOULD I BLAME FOLKS FOR NOT CARRYING HOPE...OR FAITH TO CHANGE THE UNCHANGEABLE
ROCKY-NOR-WAY-LAND OR INTANGIBLE
YA COULDN'T TOUCH ME--SO YA CAMERA BROKE.
TAKE ACTION IN-- 5, 4, 3
(THAT'S SO GENERICALLY MANUAL)
TO ENLIST THE UNLISTED
I DON'T KNOW, PEOPLE THINK IT'S UNMANAGEABLE
I'M JUST A FLOWER OF LIFE
ISN'T THAT OVER-STANDIBLE?
About this poem
Circle of life, circle of Love, circle of understanding, circle of energy, circle of the beginning and the end of breathes. Everything matters like Matter around us, which people misunderstand how powerful the Circle is. How about them Crop circles?
