the word is
r e l e v a n t
each spoken version, curtailed interpretation
a
diligent act in proclaiming the tongue’s
knowing is a predetermined
centering on
not knowing
beyond the peripheral
verdict
language exhumes
from forgotten timelines hallways paths
needing friction of movement’s
oscillating forays
of
examining knowledge’s ingratiatory culture
