ONE RUNAWAY RELIGION

This sounds sort of like somthing William S. Burroughs would have written: With impacts of images and with disconnected meanings loosely tied together. Yet this exceeds Burroughs with a Blake brightness. Even the first lines: "Ignite the barren clay, I need some rare elements to tie a thread to the moon." What, really, does this mean? What can it mean? It seems really to have no definite meaning. Yet it is a mannificent sentence. Because it has no real definite meaning, it is capable of many meanings, supplied by the imagination of the reader who is struck by the bright power of the phrasing, and the very striking image. // I like this poem. --Michael LP, Mr. Poet
