Performing a Language

Performing a Language1.jpg
Perform your language
Fly with the wind
Dive, retrieve, whatever you want,
Eat your fill,
Relish the moment and
Soar into the skies
Collapsing the metaphor of freedom
With a belching satisfaction.

Once in a while
It is always good to stop
Beating your wings,
Stand still in mid air
And watch
The discontent of the world below
Without a focus
Or a weltanschauung.

Taste the discontinuities of the past
The wholeness of the moment
In non-human terms
Catching the geometric figures
Burning in the Egyptian sands
Or rising from the Arabian Sea
Collapsing into the cosmos
Like shafts of light.

It is silly to measure the world
Through linguistic rules,
Planned written texts,
Or informal spoken discourses;
Just spin through the phonic
And graphic contours
Reveal the mystery of the sign system
And then fly away.
