This was one of the first pieces that I wrote for a Postmodernist poetry class in college, and if it makes little sense to you — no, you aren’t crazy. I believe it was more of an exercise, and a way of explaining the idea behind Postmodernism; the idea that meaning can be born from an association of words as words, and the use of space, or empty space. The idea that sounds can have meaning, too — that the words themselves offer more than just the restricting meaning prescribed in them by society. I liked that idea, and though this is admittedly not very meaningful on its own, I like to remember that this is how I expressed the idea of detaching from the prescribed meaning of writing.
This is a combination of pieces for my Postmodernism course in college — the haiku below was written first, and we later wrote a haibun to accompany it. The haibun is a free-form that expands on the ambiguity of the haiku, and being a fan of prose-poetry, I used prose for both of these haibun.
