DANCING
LINE
(Dedicated
to CaLokie)
Just like poets ink on the page their dancing line
The rage of soldiers on time goose step in a line
90 degree angles marching with a power like the poem refined
With geometric precision, as treaties are signed, letters
align
Observing real experience, subjectively, steals a way to right
ignorance of a time
Like Jackie Robinson in Brooklyn Dodger Blue racing down the
3rd base white line
Professor Griff’s mad military moves with flair in his red
beret in 1989
Public Enemy’s rebellious fists in the air, their “Fight the
Power” line
From chains broken to Ali’s lightning quick hits, sting
like a bee rap rhymes
Wars for peace howling from the hip within the creativity of
the Beatnik line
Words within the world form universal signs with their own unique
design
The way Man aligns with The Divine in cursive writing or the
printed line
Zen meditations, going within, into the bodhisattva’s Unity
of breath in time
The discipline of both the institution and the revolution is
always in the line
More powerful than breaking down concrete, or flesh, walls
that we find ourselves trapped behind
Rearranging the dogmatic through the new kaleidoscope shine
of piercing truth in the poetic line
How any Tyranny can fall when metaphor traverses the
confined freeing the individual mind
Just like the caterpillar transforms, Poetry gives birth to
Mankind, the air, in a butterfly’s dancing line
