Two Poems

Am Cone

What a way to say

where am dented.

Protrusion affects what affects

the protruded, and the protruding.

So am must be seen to be

believed: am infallible.

Flat face, round face;

edge, round, edge, line.

Am touchable, am touched.

Am not felt. Am not feeling.

Am Cube

1) Oh, side. Oh, vertice. Oh, corner.

2) To be touched is to be local. Localized.

3) Slightly off-perpendicular from ground-manifold.

4) Objective quality in solidity as formal difference.

5) Am side parallel to side, with wet space between.

6) Dust-encrusted side contains little shame.
