No Subtitutions.... Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

sublimation....so unsublime....
must, have to
place it
where it belongs
or
nowhere.....
distractions, illusions.... violet light, umbraless....
demons....no....
usurpers, powerless as ever.....absurd, bathetic....I say this not as judge but as participant.....

exhausted any number of realities........

hah!

that other-than-exquisite word: ...'numb'-er......
.............knew I'd find a laugh in there.....
