The Unfathomable Source
by Lefort in Poetry
Well, Well, Well (after Murakami)
May we aspire to a more contemplative state
Not Florida or Nevada, for example
But there we go again,
with the bank-shot gag,
and the scattershot whimsy;
while deeper discernment slips off
to kill time alone in a deeper, dryer well
Who will instead let down
wisdom’s ladder-rope into that waiting well
and let the frivolous and flippant fireworks fall faint?
Pray perhaps for a prank-less interlude,
a complete eclipse of the synapse-ellipses
May we at least filter out the oft-offered filters
and slip off into a more unfathomable source?

to kill time alone in a deeper, dryer well
Who will instead let down
wisdom’s ladder-rope into that waiting well
and let the frivolous and flippant fireworks fall faint?
Pray perhaps (!) for a prank-less interlude,
a complete eclipse of the synapse-ellipses
May we at least filter out the oft-offered filters
and slip off into a more unfathomable source?
