To spite the (typographical) errors, the collapses, <br />I’m reminded of days of infirmities, a compromised <br />Feeling; shifting winds away from security to uncertainty; <br /> <br />I am thinking of blues-soaked archetypes; <br />Animals, or animals living inside <br />Animals; I'm thinking of the paucity of truth, <br /> <br />As lost in failures of the night, insolvency <br />Drips: peeling the banana to find it lifeless <br />Inside; yellow yet moribund, diffidence matching silence. <br /> <br />Speak it once again; some stand-in for <br />Mallarme you’ve become; under misunderstood trees; <br />You thought you were clear; you were cloudy again.<br /><br />Lamont Palmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/symbols-for-unwanted-things/
