Human
(II)
"Semiotics
is not an exact science." you sd.
A
born-again Christian gives me a bible to soothe,
supply
an ever-
questioning
mind with black & white;
The
New International Version,
"Very
readable." he sd.--
as dry as could be.
We
impose the conditional measure of
Time
to order
Space
qualify infinitude bring it down to a level with the earth we call
small
--
(fear wrenching us
from the sublime...)
Choosing
language as a limit we say sentimental,
claiming
cynicism as the intelligentsia's badge
of
honor--
my
desk full of bones scents papers attempts
at
communication--
Time
will
alter transform them all beyond
context
beyond
syntax
beyond
limits--
