I'm sorry but you suffer;
shudder,
from a rare case of intelligence,
given to being
rather than thinking.

Eons ago you renounced
projecting careful, compressed waves -
with enough said before
you (merely) cough past pauses
into new causes,

for you are nothing less than beautiful.
No precociously flicked grins,
no grinding lies,
no frontal lobe love
to assign you a mundane touchstone.
You are sawdust whittled away
and nothing more than human.

And I hear you with your silent eyes,
you cast away your mindless,
not careless, past participle particles.
I savour what is beyond them; I wouldn't risk
my liveliness just to tease contemplation
out of drunken eyes,
but I'm sorry
I cannot love you because you think too much.
this is old but I was bored today and felt like doing something semi-intelligent so I fixed this up a little. This is meant to have layers to it, and do not expect to understand upon first reading.

Reading this I think that "you" is who I could be, or wanted to be, at some stage. My own lust for intellect or intelligence to some degree.

ehh I'm only fooling myself.

What does “given to being//rather than thinking” mean?

Eons ago you renounced

with enough said before

into new causes,


What are you trying to say here? I have no connection. Although, I like the sonic sound of “careful, compressed waves//with enough said.”



for you are nothing less than beautiful.
No precociously flicked grins,
no grinding lies,
no frontal lobe love
to assign you a mundane touchstone.
You are sawdust whittled away
and nothing more than human.


Suggestion:

You are nothing less
than beautiful—no precious flicked grins,
or grinding lies, no frontal lobe
love, to assign mundane touchstones.
You are whittling away:
sawdust and nothing more than human.


The end is a bit sloppy, my mind is going a bit. Maybe I am out of touch. What is this about?
