The Vision More Rare

"The opposite worldviews of Reality and romance attract not --  
the base of the former being Facts."  
-- epistemology, the scientific theory of Knowledge,  
as opposed to "just a theory"

I woke within the wood alone, the fairy having flown  
far upward on the axis to a fare of summer fair  
to picnic with a pun beneath an airy homophone,  
and on a footlong iamb feast to eat the promised heir,  
while full assisting on the tongs and bones, the derrière  
insists on being scratched, its being such a tender ass --  
the barber having failed to snip its tickle, itch, and hair --  
though fey messieurs be loathe to scratch the honey-bags of gas,  
which breaking in a rude mechanical allusions pass,  
yet but a bore to rhymesters sans a taste for metaphor,  
or fool romantics fancying a barky finger crass  
who off the ivy, nuts, and honeysuckle sweet full swore,  
along with this midwinter wood within the wilding night --  
the bush the axis bottomless inside the bear-fanged bite.

a revolving helios sonnet menippean satire on  
the folly of fancy  
and her followers of figments and illusions fond

depth of Horror in a wild of
