Semantic Drift


We are adrift.

In a sea of meaning, and non-meaning, and I- I didn’t mean to.

Adrift, splicing and decimating, reducing to one-tenth.

So focused on meaning, and re-meaning, and re-reading.

I re-wrote this post 37 times.

With, one little mark of disgrace labeled “edited”.

Can I edit that edit, to like not, be edited?....Thanks.
