Death & Syntax: Only Grammar Could Survive   

Only Grammar could survive 
a worship so frantic,
and a language chained to dust~

Biology is the only syllogism we cannot escape:
ineluctable modality of the syntactic. 
We are lured by plants reading
the soil for the very first sentence-
ancient regimes of a vegetable theater,
and our own bodies crying in the wilderness- 
desperate for new theories of acquisition.

So, as always: what to do with this exhilarating agitation of sentience?
..these kaleidoscopic vectors of a writhing awareness
that somewhere within, the imperative of the organic resides,
and a trembling hope that the dervish that is comprehension
will one day beget the kind of soulish centrifuge
once promised, beyond meaning-
and that then, somehow, we may give the slip to doting death,
and at last beguile the tedious morphologies of solitude
with an eternal reading of our own.
