Scansion. Does a poem need an outside force to perform scansion on itself?

Internal scansion? Yes, not internal combustion. Although when a poem implodes, there is an organic rhythm heard.


Regarding fruits and vegetables, the ripe always performs self-scansion. How else could we be privy to its essence.

  1. Seeing you, seeing Serra

    great swathes of black paint
    stick on yellowing paper

    invite us in, ask us out?

    you on a bench, legs crossed
    writing in the grip of the physical

    a shaft of light from the skylight
