COUNTLESS EXPRESSIONS WERE SO UBER.
... [that] I APPROVED THIS MESSAGE.

And high mountains in quick reply
gladly echo their joyous strain...

What bears repeating is repeated
as when it makes some strange sound come back
and is said, as if cute were a cult,
occult cultures occlude oculars,
mono, bino, trino et cetrino.

Poetic joy is found in song streams
when you enjoy all running waters
as if hydrological splashings
meant something more in metered flows
coursing through closed channels in pipes.

Stand and listen to water falling
to understand all noises you may hear
but some say water does not fall; it moves
from higher to lower potential,
has lost positional energy.

Falling or moving, our waters
shift sounds shaped by constant motions,
until they pool in sighing oceans
to be pulled aloft by fleeing winds
and shaken by massive's gravity.

What makes repetition possible
does not guarantee it recurrence
but gives its survival an edge
over pure fortuitous unions,
tho even chance mutations may live.

Proper water may be stochastic,
chased as a chaste nun in a chasis,
stasis when spaced is a paste;
it glues together dumbstruck gluons,
vicious viscous vacuum vacates void.

He made sounds of music speak in song
not made for such singing in voices strong
but for the weak of timbre, seedlings,
waiting to grow when a great fire storms,
clears way for rains to fall, watering.

****
Forced, thus not final, I send words
returning over a world again.
