A Man Disappears

- Joseph Robertson -


 

a man
disappears from view

we are left
to imagine

what stole him
so expertly away?

an infinite discovery
become knowing?

unimaginable 
diluvian recognitions?

a light
that preceded light

& so behaves
as incomparable veil

to eyes
that require light?

we are left
to employ imagination

for purposes
of ethical investigation

we are compelled
to uncomplicate

what cannot simply
be understood

by words already
formulated & expressed

we are incensed
to recognize

that where calm
is pressurized

in marketscapes
of ribbonate virtue

a man disappears
continually from view
