Conflation (a work in progress)

by Tommy Carroll

 

 

A Paradox is a conflation of stigmata:

The absurdity of mathematics

and ones inability

to describe (in language)

what we experience.

 

This confusion is the point

at which motion obeys all laws.

A paradox owes more

to poetry than science.

 

A paradox is a conflation

of contradictory assertions.

At no time nor space,

are you able to ascertain

the point at which a changeover occurs...

 

Movement never occupies a series

of definite spaces, sobbing in

and out of existence,

but a wail that rises and falls,

occupying- deserting- recalling,

being and not being

simultaneously, occupying

and failing to occupy

the same space.

 

A paradox is an excellent

example

of movement and of

stasis,

a wondrous confusion

of movement,

being and argument.
