spelunking gets ya there

by Jefferson Hansen


spelunking gets ya there
                                           no
                                             where
through metaphor
of ceiling &
walls gone
natural
               though
            no place
                     really
                 to
                   go
form of some sort
elastic
what we find ourselves in
always
                        the edge
                          the end of
                 metaphor
                         rock hard
more like balloons
pushing & pulling
in &
outside
interpen-
            etrating
                            but plastic
                    suffocates &
form we slip
move
wall up the side
thinking it all
merely our thing
until something goes
awry or
someone calls
attention
                 this poem stopped
            being
                     what
                   it used
                        to
                          be
