gross capitulation to inner tendency

in its woulds a knights head
part monkey and part bat
but with the face removed
and proffering the leaf-like tongue
through a fleshy slit as part of a map
the head being most of a jester

the jester of signs
was mostly a jester
but also a dancer
inasmuch as any dancer
could be a dancer and also be
an unclosed volume

the jester's signature was a thing
of contention a small
human headed bee papoose
with wings instead of ears
a whirligig corkscrew was inserted
in the small of its back
as it landed face down
skidding across the page
and dissolving
into a fine and kingly bed
its great rotor paddles
kicking into the liquid air
the spiral nudity of ink left orphaned
inside the empty face
of the jester

sometimes the jester
wore a lightbulb instead of a head
inside was a tiny magnetic
liquid ferromantic bat's head of spiky resonances

a filamental and spiky liquid bats head
at the center of a vacuum bulb
but also a blob as sometimes
symbols that connote specificities
are really just blobs
specific looking blobs
but really rather ambiguous in the end

a face
can also be a blob
one person is handing another
a tie which looks like a nose
nobody
has ever
tied their nose up
to a music
for a face
in the light bulb
of a symbolic gesture
