Using the poetic work A Coney Island of the Mind by Lawrence Ferlinghetti as a touchstone, Springboard! is a collection of stream-of-consciousness poetry written cumulatively, each piece standing upon the shoulders of the one before it.
Excerpts from Springboard!
(1)
risking absurdity,
enchantment,
and death,
I run towards the rapture of a loving springtime.
–
singing love songs backwards,
hallucinary humans risk themselves for ancient enchantment.
(2)
drawing down it’s eyes,
unreality allows itself to languish
on its own hallucinary moon.
–
a paper humanity
first feasts, then dances
in celebration of their unreal moon.
(3)
undressing their false god of springtime,
today’s humanity feels the rapture of love.
–
dancing around the absurd threat of humanity,
God and oblivion fall into love.
