coney island doom

no law above the poet who speaks his own language.


even when imprisoned
imprisoned
by a system that cannot hear him


who can say this imprisonment is not dreamed
when not based in the reality
or logic
of the poet.


when an agency believes (unwittingly, unconsciously)
that it holds a monopoly on intangible
truth
or reality
or time,
protest is not enough.

when the corporation believes
it owns reality 

(beyond business)
alternate modes of communication fast needed.

The corporation/its minions
think that (despite some disagreements)
there is one language
and we are all speaking it
