CUBISM

Imagine that these words form 

a three dimensional prism

spliced onto a two dimensional surface

like the world arbitrarily

stretched into an oval.

Envision bodies that look

the same from every angle

no matter how you twist them or

how you alter the seems.

I want to see the universe re-

fracted like it’s submerged underwater,

where up is down and East is West;

where snow will be white hot and even the

trees will be made of bricks.

Let us create this puzzling place and

call the land a collage and the sea 

a paper machete.

Help me begin by fragmenting our ideas

into newly shaped blocks and together

let us wash away the order into 

newly instituted borders.
