State of mind * 6/27/12

I have no state of mind.

There is no placard of explanation.

I have no still shot to present,

nothing like that

as freely given away.

State of mind is an antiquation.

State of mind lives in the brains

of accusatory types

who seek their day in court

as validation

is their working premise.

State of mind is a miss-belief.

It is the work of a poser person

who thrives on frozen images

as a currency of exchange.

State of mind accepts these poses,

anecdotes, and otherwise evidence

as satisfactory means

for the declaration of living.

I have no state of mind.

I am not a genre of expectancy.

I am only genesis embracing you.

State of mind is never a lap dance,

for it is motionless

seeking stilled distinctions.

Lobotomy will give you brain-state,

but state of mind?

Hey, we are the river of life,

not a life raft floating onward

and you want to document,

state of mind?

It would be a statue,

fast disappearing in the rear view,

a newspaper pleading for sun fade,

what is left of a sneeze

that has landed,

where the image of Christ

had appeared

on a half eaten bagel,

or lastly,

that place in you

that holds you back

and demands that you

justify your life

and document your living!

That’s what you’d get

as a state of mind,

yet vastly disappearing . . .
