Without Comparison


Words circling

In the blood,

Vertebrae,

Lungs.

Words meant to express what is in

Comparison to Life.

Purpose in order to express

In order to capture a feeling

A favorite feeling; swirling

Sentimentality,

Woolgathering,

Waldeinsamkeit.

Emerson's transendence of the soul

Cured the oppression of personal kind

Pen to Paper

To be like Emerson

No

To be one's own

Without Comparison
