You Cannot Arrest an Idea

You Cannot Arrest an Idea

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

You cannot be neutral on a moving train -- Howard Zinn. (distortion...)

"

Batwings

Look like things

Like scrotal skins

Fleshy umbrellas

Mammalian canopies 

Flight without feathers

 

Those are some thoughts put in a sort of way.

 

Mind strings

Contemplating things

Unfettered me thinks

Without tether I search

Sober under ether

Overpowering a void through sheer freedom of

Thought

 

Free among men and of bats

And any other mammals

Taking flight without feathers

 

Chained or unchained

I will always be free

Disolved into aether

I am irrelevant

My freedom is everything but a stain

"You cannot arrest an idea"

"You cannot be nuetral on a moving train"(howard zinn)

Yup. Thing about a poem is - at least here in the informal social conveyance known as the cafe - I am more response than critique. So you get a response to those lines. If more of us who call ourselves writers would simply let go of the controls, because we aren't really in control anyway perhaps the real "writer" would emerge. Maybe they should call "reviews" "responses" because so few of us are editors anyway. I like a poem that makes me think - and those lines sent me off down a wonderful little mental jaunt. Thank you

I was wondering whether or not you worked? You seem to spend a fair bit of time at the cafe.

Oh, by the way, ether, aether, you didn't answer the question. I was just wondering.

ether, aether, decent word choices, you may just have some talent after all. Unless of course 'aether' was just a silly typo.
