PORTABLE MODEL OF THE IMAGINATION

In the maze 
of the mind, unlocked 
doors lead 

to questions—
some of which tend 
to dead-end 

at problems—problems 
which the burly
charioteer, 

possibly in-league 
with his clever friend 
the engineer, 

work to a fever 
pitch of effort 
to resolve—til the poet,

ever floating 
in that bath which fills 
synaptic gaps,

chances 
to stir from his open-
ended nap 
 
to spill a few non 
sequiturs, which 
dissolves them.
