Sense

April 6, 2014

Kubla Khan.

Greek in English.

I get this.

I am the author.

Why should I care if you understand?

Maybe because you are God in the poetic Armageddon. 

Will my work ascend or burn?

I can make it ascend with flattery.

Uncovering complex ideas with simple phrases.

You rejoyce in finding iealogical treasure. 

When all along it was sitting under your shiny fir... (Whisper) 

Or I can put a veil over my ideas. 

Use the language of the Jabberwocky to make it unfair.

I am not as smart as I think.

This is a likely scenario.

Not even I know the path that I now leave in my wake.
