attention has its own needs

the technique of attention only presents 

the allure of freedom,

as imposed by the method and mechanics of attention.

attention has the capacity to attend to the doing

but has no grasp of the capacity to be.

attention is quite at home

with the know of experience

but literally at odds

with the feeling of being.

know is referential 

while feel is embodiment presenting.

syntactically, we are both the seduction

and the failure of linear thinking personified.

content and context are mentally referential

but content and context are emotionally multidimensional.

there is no say that speaks the emotional truth,

for that say just infers the leap from the words.

where for mentally, 

say is informational method at work.

these two are worlds apart,

one being linear in deliverance,

while the other is holographic in presence.

how it is puzzling to have a mind in usage

when feelings essentially don't work in a language way?

we are all taught to have emotional summary 

available for thought to interpret,

for language to say in words depictions thereof.

but the feeling state does not pledge to understand

while the mind state works rigorously at inward reveal.

where do these two ever meet as attention persuades?

at music?

at romance before it has a storyline?

when pageant emotion attention-grabs innocent thought?

when philosophical has a psychological 

moment of shared interest?

attention has the parade marshal of mentality,

but the parade of each moment itself 

is hardly surface contained

or consciously accounted for.

maybe attention is poorly dressed 

as a self, mentally predisposed,

as if mental overage is always the means 

to be accounted for.

once attention received a defining description,

grave sites should have been chosen

for attention of that kind has a timeline.

mental attention is what makes experience overrated.

for how many conclusions are there 

to be made until we are buried alive 

in remarks and memory retention?

shoes are like mind usage,

and so we thought.

yet shoes keep us confined in a fear modality.

one cannot walk the earth,

when kept in fear confinement.

emotion wants the symphony of sound,

not the clarity of claim and pronouncement.

attention may have lost its focus-way

like a flashlight in the darkness of abounding fear.

attention certainly needs 

more than a mind-grip to function . . .
