Magnificent Groan

sharpening Mind
one more time
why?
exercise
of this type
does nothing to change oil
or rotate tires
cant build a fire
when broken down
roadside
in the sticks
on some frightful
freezing night

when Soul
once again creaks
emitting seeping
bleats
submitted publicly,
trasmitted
to oft-mentioned
backlit screens
it`s actually
an act of deceipt
rather than reveal

when articulation
is so pinpoint
it magnifies
over-all reality
out of vision`s field
it`s like trying to
identify
a creature
from close-ups
of it`s inner ear...

each groan
no matter how
magnificent
it`s flow,
is but a screen-shot
amid a live`s
ebb and flow
a misleading
projection
of un-graspable
depth
examiners merely
wade in shallows
of fading thruth`s
faint echoes
