Read The Ideal Poem by Christos R. Tsiailis

An eye can identify with the paper, it can become white,
it does not let the letters skip or merge, it finds a rhythm to appropriate.
Supra-segmental features follow patterns,
this should be learnt before anything read ahead.

An eye does not imagine real life or speech,
it hears the voice that belongs already to the Envoy,
it ignores the pitch.

[breath, read, read, breath, read, pause]

Don’t you forget to pause, as the sign of dot indicates to restart.

[breath, read, read, breath, read]

Should reading be loud, no listener be there,
keep a low profile, no tone,
a paper is a yacht, waves signify its course,
white is white, the shape has no shade,
the surface flat, no depth.
An eye does not search for pragmatics,
symbolism fierily interferes with a Super Ego.
You ought to support a hand’s writing from a semantic approach,
Do not decode,

[Breath, pause]

Conveyed meaning flows to a third ear,
shut the comprehension tunnels of the left hemisphere,
Absolute phonological awareness, the epistemology of reading
Do not just make ideal out of the pragmatics of white,
-read the ideal-
Good readers tell the kids things …
(1996)
