This is the playground for the serious at heart
Play and scaffold your giggle with depth, profundity, reflection, and wit

let the sciences, semiotics, ontology, epistemology, post, pre, peri play, play
play, imaginary friends

ah the thrill of the adventure, the excavation
the symbolically measured and the looking into the spaces in-between

that liminal that is only metaphorically segregating: let nonsense befriend Apollo, rising into quicksands
Let Dionysus enjoy fasting; he secretly craves

the controlled, the stoic, the pure,
come and lie down spread out arms onto the fresh meadow calculating the circular movements of drops visually bending the branches

Let the surreal be real for the artificial shan’t grasp its quick shifts in meaning eloping the censors of the established, excommunicated denotations

Rise and sit at the table, break bread and slide
For it is the universe that looks into itself
you are its expression and birthing of thought
you are its commune
