Above the Nose Con/Jur/d, 5/6/2024 My eyes are up here our relationship to a landscape a nude, a cubist violin, the day glow stutter of DMT, the reality of empire DREAMS seem absolute we’ve all see the diagram of eyeballs, EYE EYE BRAIN cross -wired leading to the left/right hypothesis, although certain NEUROLOGISTS say, “it’s just a crappy new age story like the bible” the rest of us may be old enough to remember EMO PHILLIPS and other QUANTUM PHILOSOPHERS like PEE WEE HERMAN who not only got WARHOL’s TOMATO SOUP but what it tasted like, under the table, behind a counter in a lunch box in CENTRAL PARK, in AUSTEN before DELL and the BASIC BUSH took over, even in a movie theater which he didn’t come out of for 30 years EMO had this line, “I used to think the brain was the most fascinating part of the body until I realized, HEY! look, whose telling me that” some of us, still, think it’s funny.
Much Love,

Honestly, I read this and feel confused, but not in a bad way. This poem, its style and format seems to so well capture your train of thought that even if I can't wholly discern its meaning, it's compelling to take a peek into your mind like this. I love it when poets experiment with elements to better mold their words to their intent—it always amazes me.
