Axilea I take the clue of the title to mean temporary con. That we (our society creates a temporary world we take as eternal.
The last line sounds ominous, as in the opposite of being aware.
Interesting thoughts expressed elegantly. - David |

| I struggle to add anything to what Charlie has said, Axilea. She has captured my own thoughts on this perfectly. Except to say that I am in total admiration of how controlled this writing is. Shows great confidence and poetic maturity. With such a vast wealth of instances at your disposal, you make surgical decisions as to what to include and then pin-point your points dramatically. And I love the cleanness of the form you choose to frame the whole. Neat, clean, "sanitised insanity"! What else is there to do but sleep? Very strong images and well-chosen, meticulously ordered, steps of progression. TY Kate xx |

Axilea, I admire the decision to translate the complexity of your thought in a simplistic form rich in the structure of great poetry; i.e., the marvelous alliteration in the following:
yearn)
those re-creations
fake mechanic clatter
pose of plastic corpus
captivate you
with their precision
wireless syntony

| First of all, the title. Very clever, and a great lead-in for the scene. The Great Paradox exists in the subsequent stanzas. I too see the irony of people insisting there's no god--that the world just exists, spontaneously, and all the while, they're playing God themselves--creating their own little worlds full of their own creations--temporary ones with only a tiny portion of the beauty that exists in the world created by a Greater Scientist than they can fathom. I've always been baffled by that paradox. The things we create last maybe a lifetime. Tick-tock. You can't take it with you. But the mind--the mind's forever. Very intelligent write. I like it. Can I have it? --Charlie |

Axilea,
...and conTemporary in delivery, pared and pared down to essentials, deliberately skeletal and all the richer for that...and a soft landing.
