Praying mantis

Your Name is in rotation,
whatever we talk of, or about.
Quote, un-quote, that’s a dubious
roll-off
fidelity case.
I’d rather use interrogation marks, though,
to gather the crowd;
so much better than this ridiculous
fool’s stop
(write full stop,
dutiful).
Yours is the mind (no connection to the brain),
with a capital wall behind IA,
like a wall before IC,
some write it in full, – stop oh stop, –
beautiful
is the form contraction we call symbol,
or simple.
Through repetition it sounds a bit on the boring side,
but then, –
and tedious work, –
and then again,
what doesn’t!
Your Name is action,
by lying still.
Just a fraction
of the exclamation thrill.
The Power and the Glory
don’t bear a name.
I believe. I believe.
Praying mantis gone lame.
