Just because you call it a potato panache
And I call it a carbohydrate meal does not
Mean it is of the same substantial elements
Constituted not. Similarly, let
It not be forgot that, for all schools which
Speak of an "enlightenment" in terms which
Resonate together, there just may be
An "enlightenment" which for me is not
That which it be for you, just as swimming sewers
Be not the same as striving for pyramids.
Mayans had Culture
Texans had Desert Vultures
Summer Succeeded
Time along similar lines
Of latitude like sutures
For Frankenstein, his monsters
Grateful not to be grated;
Which is as much as to say one may find
Beyond recesses of the mind a kind
Of unschooling that is not taught nor bind
Yet taut with a binding that becomes one
Much as sun and solar system to sun
Upon reset should it be gone nova
Without going so far as to blow it
All to kingdom become none becoming
Which is as much as to say one may.

"Just because you call it a potato panache" panache should be pancake. unless it is some kind of other food I don't know about. In which case forgive me I am a dunce....
The poem was very well written I really enjoyed it. It had much imagination and depth to it. Thank you for sharing. -

Ignorance of Bliss
"panache" = "(with) flair"; thus a "potato panache" would be, one might presume, a potato prepared and presented with flair (which might also be called "a carbohydrate meal".
I doubt you are a dunce, or that I am holding class. "Without ignorance there is no learning without ignoring".

"Just because you call it a potato PANACHE" Do you mean potato pancake?
"Yet TAUT with a binding that becomes one" Is this taunt or taught?
"Mayans had Culture
Texans had Desert Vultures
Summer Succeeded
Time along similar lines
Of latitude like sutures
For Frankenstein, his monsters
Grateful not to be grated;"
This was my favorite stanza. And i'm not sure what this was all about. I did not make to much sense to me. Thank you for sharing this with us. -

Which Way one neigh One Nay
"Taut" = "tight, to tighten", often used with regard to ropes and cables which be strung, or emotions.
"panache" = "(with) flair"; "potato panache" = a potato with flair (in its style of presentation, one would presume).
"...swimming sewers
Be not the same as striving for pyramids." => the Suez canal: this piece is allusionary as much as conclusinary. There are, for example. the two Enlightenments of which people in the West speak: that of the Buddhists and that of Reason. They are not the same Enlightenments.
"which", one should note, has two meanings, one concerning the act of choosing, one the result.
"Grateful not to be grated;" => the difference between "looking a gift horse in the mouth" and "seeking amongst the fine hairs for a new follicle".
