We’re fidgeting, minding our semiotic manners,
lit by mid-lunch clarity, sporting and Datonian —
we’re in an enclosure with no pulpit, without dogma...
breezeways to enter then exit formlets
spreading out in willful overloads of language design —
Skilled decor, de-simplified or notional mime
in contretemps between science and who knew?
ironic technologies with no precedent —
a corporate hold across a matrix of manners and adaptations, restrained praxis
and hermetic syntax.
Nice beachfront. Amuse our ears and eyes: why so few
and fewer bonds with semiotics doubting itself (if only a little)
— it seems an absurd referent and then less
off-rhyme.
