AT POLLOCK'S BLUE POLES

Altered prolific hues
in fluent ambience
searching these passages
of a student handbook of art
with restless calligraphy
of antecedent gestures
immersed arrangements
in unschooled chiaroscuro
as scrolled ink dreams
of aspired fugal atonality
washes into light's supposition
and scales instantly shaded
crisscross current climates
neither recognized or apologized
to nature's temperaments
slowly changing related space
transformed into our time
into patinas' innovations absorbed
as yellow booked automatism
from assimilated understudies
who today watch a web modulated
by string theory's abnegation
expecting metaphorical science
to reason all our abstractions
by ambiguous interior imagery
forged by formulaic answers
in unsigned metallic language
when even local color resonates
but cannot resolve in a canvas
all subjective honed questions.
