Cerebral Lunatics

At five past
Tuesday

celebral lunatics
talking of relevance
on art boards
in cyberspace

gather sound

claiming to make
patterns of exchange
which create

a number of truths
that show their commitment
to concrete expression

by anchoring sense
in earth-bound images
within the context
of modernity.

She listens
transfixed
hypnotised

by the weight
of voices

and
tests a theory
of how
to picture
meaning

by measuring
the relative
length
of each syllable

with its syntatic
sense
and
the
degree
of assonance
consonance
and
alliterative value
when
spoken
to
life
by
a
poet's breath.
