Meta


Above this highway cut
through forest either side
clouds build, in mind, a pyramid
or tree with road its trunk,
white cumulus as leaves–  
or single canopies, a bushy woodlot
forming greater foliage.

Minds don’t consist of cells
or nerves or ganglia–  
they're sewn from metaphors
and similes, all woven words
each signifying more
than single thoughts,
with one thread–
     “like”  
– which binds all meaning.

@Richard - Thanks for the read and the good critique.  I've tried to follow your suggestions, hope it hasn't included typographic overkill.
