nonsensical tort

how many faces

how many faces

how many faces look past us
staring into many faces
that look like madness
washing upon the noses of noise
with coloring jokes
and visions in red?

how many can you imagine
here  there  wherever they stare
crazily you'd say
toward those things over there?

go! search the limits of madness
in the legends of the sane.
go quickly while the gas blows
and i am fuming apart



*The rebel is uninterested in ordinary purposes: growth, the standard of living, success, respectability. How could she feel guilty about this when she sees so many others passionately concerned about them, and with such high seriousness, finding them the only reason for existence?  Her mission is to point to absence - it's not exactly her mission, more her nature.  Amidst prophets who have become publicity agents, she invites us to make the world revolution in ourselves.  Her only merit is to accept silence and solitude on days when she is tempted to quit.  But no one should mistake her for an ascetic or a sage.  I'm impressed that she wants almost nothing. She hardly dares call herself Christian. Another word would be needed, more modest,

*Be suspicious of the rebel who uses her insurrection as stepladder.
