Think separate from thought * 4/7/13

Deeply entrenched in thought

is not, by operation,

or for all intents and purposes,

related to think.

Think is the plow blade churning

while thought picks up

on the upturned crop.

Thought has the temporality

and pace of waltz potential.

Think produces outcrops of images

breaking through the otherwise

opaque awareness surface

and also the murmurings

that slow into meaningful words

as identifiable labeling.

Thoughts have the capacity

of preoccupation, loiter,

slow burns of gaze, reminders,

and the results from memory match-ups,

and retrieved storylines.

Thoughts directly honor compartmentalization.

Think, at the cutting edge,

does not experience audience involvement,

and maybe not even thoughts

as peripheral bystanders.

Think is more like deep dive discoveries

while thought is more like converting

monologues into dialogue.

Think swims with ease

below the surface of witness awareness

while thought has flotational devices

and the apparent evidence 

of symbolic support,

so much so, to be surface bound.

Take away the thought preceptors

from the think environment

and you have no thought beckoning.

So think without censorship

or rules governing the sanity of thought

may produce humor

and irrational truth may emerge.

Think may delve and function

with wider tires and wandering

while thought produces curbs,

orientation, and street names.

Thought has a blender and then sips.

Think is hands on

and has no need for etiquette.

There is very little

self-consciousness to think

but much more of this self sense

is as embeddedness to thought.

Thoughts can do the work of a disc jockey

with recorded segments brought to mind

while under the demand of thought,

think can fetch from the undisclosed

and from the ‘who would have thought

to look there’.

The inner self’s view of think

is as a currency exchange

where by value

is to be determined afterwards,

while thought has more of an

order from the mind menu feeling,

as in “I’ll have number 5,

with extra sauce on the side? Thank you.”

The room of thought has

a certain amount of embodied consensualness

as additional lighting,

while think is generally a dark room adventure

emerging into view. 

Thought has more of the gravity

of a definiteness to it

while think has more weightlessness

and floats in its own unknown.

Think can be cued to investigate

while thought hunts for news worthy. 

Thought is survey bound

while think is explore.

Belief is constructed from thought.

Trust is think without apprehension.

In the end therefore,

thought is doing believing

while think is trust personified . . .

Thought is the reasoning of think.
