Assemblance
by Gary Hardaway
I have no original thoughts
and thus must scavenge
the publicized thoughts of others
in order to have a mind.
I assemble myself daily
from the ready-mades
of a fast talking world,
a Frankenstein and his Monster
stitched together as one.
The scarring is atrocious.
The scarring is quite original, actually, compelling. *
* I assemble myself daily
Like the first stanza. **
I can imagine.*
The scarring is atrocious.
So true. *
Thank you, Matt, Loren, Rachna, Amanda, and Paul.
Pound wanted to - but couldn't of course - try though he did. None of us can do that.
Always a special literary moment for me when Frank and his offspring make an appearance. Great use here, by the way. Enjoyed the read, Gary.
Thank you, Sam.
Good insight, here. Haven't heard "ready-mades" for awhile. *
Thank you, Gary.
Those first four lines. Me, lately. :) *
Thank you, Charlotte.
Fun in the best possible way.
Thank you, Darryl.
