Slant
Article excerpt
slant's the charge in Parable's grenade; the wacky
wisdom known to clowns and prophets who can
snatch a glimpse of Life beyond Death's stranglehold,
and dare proclaim the Emperor has no clothes
slant's the foil to one-eyed seeing, that perceives
the markers God has planted in the plane of Entropy
and Time to point beyond, yet can't resolve their
swirls and almost-pattems; slant's the offset angle
of the second eye, which allows for solid seeing
so some can glimpse a 3D image starting to cohere
beyond the plane: the Parable enfleshed, the Prince
of Slant-Death's trophy kill, securing Death's defeat.
