escape

consider my confusion

I cannot conceive the caption ‘escape’

as a coldly critical concept

I am quite incapable of articulating

artistically

the conundrum of ‘escaping’

which must concur conclusively

with a ‘from what’ and a ‘to what’ question

correct me if I quibble

can I qualify curious contentment

at my conscious core

or am I in a vacuum

Courage or Comedy

what is the score

I seek… seek… I seek…

quantifiable conclusions

crikey

I am quite captured

by this k-k-k cacophony

I can’t escape… escape… escape…

esca… esca… esca…es…es…c...c....

carry me back to … ALBAQUERKEE !

a lurky kink quirks

I kwit

I escape (into the world of literature) from the mundane and banal to the pristine and lofty world of poetics and art where the human soul can transcend its beholden state to what often seems a wearisome and hindering circumstance. Very provocative and thoughtful poem.

Blimey Cyn - you are the philosopher of all philosophers! I love the way you analyse and question everything - there's no drifting with you.

'curious contentment at my conscious core' - you are very lucky if you have that - especially for a poet... it must have made writing about escape difficult though. It is great to have that balance within the theme though - zany and crazy ending - love it! xx

Bit of levity that's what we need - well done CBT

really enjoyed this cynth, a smirky read of it and the conasance (speeled wrong) is brilliant. catches clarity clearly, could cry constantly keeping karma corrosively coherent.
