Before the last tree falls
I believe in its ordinary sound
the gasses release
in the crackling of its timber
the unputdownable odor
of its thick resin and radiating ember
I have not seen you for decades
and yet I believe you exist
the measurable meaning is cinder
memory lost is faint yet there to be lit
the axe of observation beheads existence
I do not sense therefor it is not

brooks and meadows,
books and measurements
where the editor became the troll
it was there around the camp fire or under that tree at the tollgate gasping travelers scrambling a coin grasping a writer’s breath for a review piercing with needle daggers of cloaked anonymity
are the wolves circling at the edge of the forest
as overtones to the grass crisp dew in morning of a fresh authentic thought
is the troll appearing from beneath the bridge expected and yet not and yet there it is truthful in its grandness grotesqueness loudness
the troll phishing gaslighting ghosting and not canceling until the words have been boned and the carcass is feasted upon
spat out you shall be wordly traveler blasted with conjured phrases of bile as magically as dark magic may shimmer shiny composition
the ephemeral creature wants not truth it wants riddle and confuse not halting not passing no period no comma nor a dash of interjection connection nor humane reflection
at the bridge truth is priced as the mud on worn down feet recycled hashed and sprinkled in authoritative tone you shall not pass
confusing adventure protector gatekeeper with stony skin clubs and confabulating foam Clutch Helplessly And Tremblingly Grab Pulped Truths from thereon end real nor reason has not thy home: as it ever was, so it shall be.
A bird sings its brisk tune.

“What is a lingo-futurist?,” you ask?
It is a fictional expert who makes predictions
about the pragmatics and shifts in social connotations of a word.
Here is one such prediction by a foremost lingo-futurist:
“2023 will be the year where ‘understand’ will be one of the most contested words.
No longer will ‘understand’ be understood with understanding as once one understood.
Moreover, ‘I don’t understand’ will increasingly —for humans— mean ‘I disapprove’ or, for non-human human artifacts, ‘the necessary data was absent from my training data.’
‘Understand’, as wine during recession, will become watered-down making not wine out of water yet, water out of wine, while hyping the former as the latter.
All is well, all is fine wine, you understand?”
