topics generates concern 2/5/19


anything this is topical for discussion
is of a radical but impotent concern.
what is actually said,
is so ventilative 
as to represent what can’t be said.
that the formulation of that say
is so mired in past muted emotional history
that the perspectives to say suffers
from the previous internal self-dialogues
that have lost the impetus 
to truly speak up or to loudly speak out.
the truth is from outside of this current time 
and perplexing current circumstance.
fear provides for this speech impediment
to exist as a way of ongoing culture.
we all know it.
we all live within it,
as muddledom is the override.
no one is card-counting the ongoing events
to even bother to make speakable sense of it
with true clarity and dedicated impetus 
that does not fade upon hearing
in the minds and hearts of most others.
sure, it is instantaneously attention grabbing
but it is also audience viewed
as a form of movie-like entertainment,
as a rush of emotional clamor and concern.
but nobody would actually get out of their seats
because it is viewed as fantasy 
or reality at an insurmountable distance from right here 
relative to one’s environmental immediacy.
and what goes on unsaid is,
‘it is not in my house
and not in my world for me to be concerned.
sure, I am aware-concerned
but I am not action-concerned.
I do not have the wherewithal to relate.
just knowing about it 
in a passing sort of way is enough for me.
it moves me into a passivity of concern.
I have developed a somewhat daily capacity for that.
I can be topically aware
and that then becomes my form of participation.
I am truly concerned
as in enough said already’ . . .
