No meaning in the words?
No logic in the form?
Do you see these poems
Heaps of emotional offal?

Accept then
This challenge -
Explain in reasoned
Argument
Your exact experience
The instant
Of new concepts.

If after-flash joy
Or after-flash pride
Alone
Are your sole guides
On what is your system
Based?

Logic?

Logic? ? ?

Ought not
You re-reason
Your reason!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Written sometime during 1964, this poem is specifically directed to the 'rationalists' of the world. In savoring and understanding life, there just might be more than what the 'mental' screen filters and feeds to the 'mind'. Think about it!
