[The Shape of Reinvention] a poem

This autonomous man has never undergone reinvention;

there’s never been a need so great to cause such an effect-

-manufacture is for the inane without self-invention,

the cripple of a soul needing some hindrance to project

the how and whys of declaring what should have been-

-nothing that has not been was suppose to be,

what has been was never suppose to be,

we make what has become and what will become,

we will make it as well-

nothing can occur naturally in the soil beneath our

feet; this is a man-made marvel,

standing as tall as the lowest structure

enduring time only by slight chance,

an orgasm by a precise measured fall from

the gallows,

an orifice of either-or differentiation-
