note 1: a new meaning for each viewing/a new meaning each time you read it. Repetition does not imply verbatim duplication. Subtle differences between/betwixt repetitions generate meaning. Omission and inclusion of parenthetical or slashed letters, words, and phrases renders a new reality. This piece is meant to be read several times; please intuitively or experientially omit and include bracketed entities to your liking. Of course, you could read it just once, but since the world is always in flux, it is unfair to enforce the words we use to describe it a static existence.
note 2 (*some of one*): An icon, a caricature of the deity never captures its Pure Reality, just fragments of infinity.

Brackets. I wrote something like this in early summer.

asad tale from asadder life.
I can find meaning from everything but no spaces in "asad" and "asadder". I'm curious, explain? An inability to separate individual from the larger context?
when everything gets collapsed together and starts to grow and you don't have any option to put things back in their right places.
Wow... this is brilliant. It's so intricate and expressive of a multitude of things as postulated through varying angles, thus embodying versatility in verse. Good work.
thanks Ari. Can you tell it was inspired by our film class Wednesday?
Hahah I think you put it best: the muse inspires conditionally.
It can't be crap. Just genius, always.
