Conceptual Valentine

A forked stick (or shriek)

stuck in the ground (or eye)

can douse flowers

but is poetry to gardening

what flarf is to yanking trees

out of the ground

to check how they’re

growing then trying

to replant them

in some other field

quite clearly it’s not yet

the monkey wars

but goes all the way back

to the universal cosmic language

in its frog-pond form

prior to percept and concept.
