poetic toolkit, 1999

poetic toolkit


a wooden box
filled with a broken lock
for a bicycle
and some sugar
and some salt
and added to it
a pair of unuseable
spikes or nails
is named a
poetic toolkit

the content
of this poetic toolkit
is not only simply "arbitrary"
but merely shows
the alchemy
where with a poet
deals nowadays
though meaning
the "post?"modern
deeply
technologically influenced
western-based societies
wherein the poetic tradition
however did not
change
though the content
of this
poetic toolkit
clearly shows
the status of poets
in societies
as such
meaning the poet
can be easily mistaken
in being
a pitiful
and illed
foolish
creature
