A Line of Time
December 13th 2008 01:01
A line
A line of time
to kiss the whispers
A walk through lines
bumper to bumper
a missed friendship gone
speeding through
to catch a purpose
no stopping now
lights on lights
noisy vibrations
chitter chatter
memories forgotten
bad stories collide
among delays
stopped for tea
where is my way
daylight still peeking
polite transport
louder vibrations
more of the same.
An original poem by Chris Diphoorn

Thanks for your wonderful reply. You make many assumptions about someone you know nothing about.
I am not trying to make you look bad. The question I asked came from one of my students, not myself.
Maybe I needed to expand their question or rather define it to tell us what that stanza means to you? It makes absolutely no sense to the person who asked the question. Maybe you have no intention to help other people understand what you write, because you are more intelligent than them? To answer this question is to allow this student to experience your truth.
"And in regard to Truth, if, to be sure, through the attainment of a truth we are led to perceive a harmony where none was apparent before, we experience at once the true poetical effect" - Edgar Allan Poe.
I liked your Brecht quote, for if one replaces the word mistake with the word problem, (interchangeable in your thinking) an intelligent person (according to the quote) would then seek a solution. Maybe we could do that Brandon?
This blog doesn't have to be the sum of our quarrel nor something we both truly regret. I am entitled to write in here and make commentary as you are to respond. I am truly here, and not lurking as you suggest. Lurking does sound fun though.
There is an opportunity for us both to learn something Brandon. There is an opportunity to write respectfully to one another. There is an opportunity for many great things.
All you need to do is make a choice.
Respectfully yours
