Minus Signs

Curved roads, minus signs
Poly-directional, hightech
Dreams, multi-orgasmic

Patterns within, without
The Mind's eyes
Of Kafka, Goethe, Kerouac
Sweet desire, minus signs
Fantasy wheel, archaic
Reality, single-minded
Truth abound
The soul's parched reality
Of Dante, Crowley, Poe
Sweet existence, minus signs
Abstract, pearl white
Roadways, poly-morphous
Paradoxical, cluttered
The truth's bigot
Of Roger, of Rediron, of Wowo
Of madness, minus signs
