Concurrently and concomitantly, inadvertence and inattention,
the fallacy and miscues disguise and juggle, cloak and crept,
tiptoe and sneak.
while, the horizons stretch the dreams,
beyond mindsets and reveries, skylines’ bluish textures’ touches,
and surfaces, vistas’ open wings and twigs.
Stems, ruptures and surges,
the prospects’ aptitudes and abilities, mesmerize, rivet, and spellbind—
the oceans’ surges and webs, unconsciously, instinctively, and impulsively,
assure, attain, and achieve; debris are to sink, rubbles need to flee.
Whereas; the shimmers, glitters, glimmers and gleams,
and the dance of stars, the rhumbas and pops shall entangle the thoughts,
the maze of notions, warren of devotions, the pieties, dedications,
and the presence and incidence, your poise and aura, compliment and venerate.
Tribute, accolade, and homage, the reverence, praise and sensations,
the zest and keenness, the zeal and passion, electrify and transfix,
bearings, deportments; manners, demeanors, overwhelm and enthrall,
neglects and despairs, collapses and shabbiness, gawp and gape,
distort and disturb, garble, mangle and muddle.
Beams or leers, grimaces and sneers, contortions and titters,
saturate and soak, drench and douse, and jumble and bewilder—
is it the choices, or forged blotches, to invoke fear, start smear,
cracks do congeal, blows to coarsen, tweets to unveil, sheer to prevail.
Beings and mortals, air and ether, existence and extensions,
presence and subsistence; overcome, succeed, and conquer,
boulders overturn, flows stiffen, surges, gushes rule, lonely abandoned scenes,
still, mold and shell, merging casts and forms, abrupt raging seals.
Provisional and momentary, apparatuses, gadgets and gears;
and you; the initiator and spur, originator, the control and core,
impetuses and goads, harbingers, forerunners, and heralds;
riding the tides, intone arrays, repetitions, patterns and contours,
commemorate and observe, honor and venerate, to pertain grandest goal—
Entities, objects and bodies, creatures, parties, pundits and gurus,
Vaunt, flaunt, and parade, entireness to succumb, totality to accede;
pioneers, pacesetters, curves and bends, twists and turns,
reveal triumphs, unwrap the pursuits,
breeze, doddles, and sinches; certain, convinced to exceed,
chirpings, lyrics and vocals, the deeds to cede not conceal.
Themes & Interpretations
Simultaneity as Condition
“Concurrently and concomitantly” establishes not sequence but coexistence as the poem’s governing mode. Inadvertence and aspiration share the same breath; the fallacy tiptoeing and the horizon stretching occupy the same moment. Experience is concurrent, not sequential.
Inadvertence as Infiltrator
“The fallacy and miscues disguise and juggle, cloak and crept, tiptoe and sneak.” Error is not passive absence but active presence—fallacies personified as covert operatives, sneaking through consciousness with deliberate cunning.
Unconscious Achievement
“Unconsciously, instinctively, and impulsively, assure, attain, and achieve.” The ocean’s deepest accomplishments operate below conscious will. Debris sinks, rubble flees—a natural sorting where what is substantial rises without deliberation.
The Forged Blotch
“Is it the choices, or forged blotches, to invoke fear, start smear.” Not all darkness is genuine—some imperfections are manufactured, fabricated stains applied to surfaces. The capacity to distinguish authentic difficulty from artificial shadow is a central ethical demand.
The Initiator as Core
“And you; the initiator and spur, originator, the control and core.” The reader is not observer but agent—the source from which both darkness and light emerge, both the starting point and the essential center of the concomitant condition.
Deeds That Cede Not Conceal
“The deeds to cede not conceal” reverses the poem’s opening concealment. What was disguised, cloaked, and sneaking at the start is, by its close, yielded openly. Authentic action inherently resists concealment; triumphs insist on disclosure.
