You Understand Of Course
by: Landen DeGraff (@simplylanden)
In the vast forest of the mind
The penniless children did roam
The sun-filled streets of wood
The time warp changed to the beat of the beetles
Scratching the surface of the ocean
Where only boot-ridden air hit the moonbeams
You understand of course?
At last! They scream and shout
No abiding fingertip top
At the hand of the shivering mountain
Could it be that the space of love
Was filled with the staring eyes?
But you see, the completed truth behind the lie
Stands between two nauseating pillars
Never falling into the depth of divinity
For one can't feel what is not
And what is not is what could be
For the would be are have nots
You understand of course?
So yes, proclaim the reality
Of the simple calamity
That plagues us with originality
Abstracted from the contracted meaning
Of which one could affiliate the truth
To be the sons of creative dignity
One hears the clashing keys of solidity
You understand of course?
For these words mean nothing
Yet poetic at the very least
Carrying meaning after all
One can ramble about nothing
But still mean something
You understand of course?
Sometimes a release is needed
The liberation of words and rhythm
Placed together in a jumbled way
The simple pleasure of a good old-fashioned read
Needs no particular understanding
Yet you understand of course?
