SEARCH FOR PROCOPIUS

 

SEARCH FOR ANOTHER PROCOPIUS

was it justinian or theodora 

was it the media

or the propaganda

or clandestine organizations of the time

that produced procopius

in the center of a world

ruled by 

power

and greed

and arts

and wars

infamy 

unspeakable

but writable

like or unlike today

recorded as they occurred

forgotten

or banned by decree

never to be texted for common schools 

and philosophers

who never knew 

unrelatable

narratives 

of knights of arabia

just phalanxes

or chariots

and camels and elephants

all falling

at mercy 

of historical and modern barbarians

THE UNDERSTANDING OF NOT BEING SOMETHING

 

SOMETHINGS ARE JUST THAT

no need to name 

or specify

or categorize

just list them

as us and them

friends and foes

fears and joys

tasted and forgotten

painted all white

and all the hues of white

to take 

in

to

A PRIORI IS SELF EVIDENT

 

A POSTERIORI IS TO BE CONTESTED

all hold

some declarations to be self evident

except for others who have no appendages dangling

or buckets

with or without handles

minds of eld

with grey matter

filled with zeal

and

self assurance

not scientific

or

methodic

followers

of Stanislavski

using the world 

as a Konstant stage 

subject to small tremors

of insignificance
