object

object

object, as in not subject

not the subject but the object

objection, as in what lawyers say

being a lawyer is not my objective but

lawyers are the objects of many a conversation I have nowadays

objectively I’m not sure where I’m going

What it is, an objective? Goal, purpose,

Bedrock of the soil that is intention.

Objects in motion will stay in motion

Subjects in poetry will stay in motion, continuing to write words

Regardless of meaning, of an objective, of objects to write poems about.

Simply a subject subjecting other subjects to his subjectivity

Subject no longer feels like a word with meaning

If any ever existed to start with

Start spark scarp scrape scape escape

Object has escaped containment, escaped prompt territory,

headed towards complete absence of sense
