lines that look like lines
word-like words
and so the story goes
take what you can
and leave the rest
behind
something to say
a message in the medium
in itself a message
what did I mean to say
and did I - do I - dare
and how should I
presume
that is not
what I meant
at all
degraded
the words bleed
over a virtual page
as if nothing could be
more meaningless
than I know
it is
This a poem by way of an explanation. Look up 'asemic'. Curiously, or perhaps typical of a poet, I chose to render meaning down to meaninglessness. It can happen.
The text herewith obscured is, therewith, revealed.

You'll note a wee nod to Tommy Stearns there too…
