Patrick Kemspke Poems

So what is this poem about?
- It's about a butterfly…
But what does the butterfly stand for?
- The butterfly is a butterfly.
...

You can jam yourself in as far as you want
But the human body is a funny thing;
It knows when you don't belong.
...

Butterflies float
On the barrel of a gun,
The cold steel glimmers
In the rays of the sun.
...

There is a ghostly echo;
The electrical impulse of
An illogical algorithm.
Some sort of dementia
...

I told you that
If 2-1 = 1+1x,
Then 1+1 = (1+1)
...

It's not intentional -
I'm just a boat with no anchor.
A ship lost at sea.
...

Poetry In The 21st Century

So what is this poem about?
- It's about a butterfly…
But what does the butterfly stand for?
- The butterfly is a butterfly.
No, there must be something more.
- Why can't it be a butterfly?
Maybe it represents the fragility of life.
- Is that even a word?
Maybe it's saying we need to spread our wings.
- Or maybe it means butterflies are pretty.
Oh I know: a metaphor for the Spanish inquisition!
- That doesn't even make sense.
Sure, why else would the butterfly be yellow and red?
- Because those are the colors of the butterfly!
Or does the antennae represent the Batista...
- … I hate you.
