Picture Poems and Poetry of Terrell Neuage – Adelaide, Australia
WEEKLY ROMANTIC POEM FOR Tuesday, 7 August 2001 last week's romantic poem
Windows open
curtains possessed by the wind
laughter in motion
I remember her walk
everyone did
the movement of her skirt
swallowed my thoughts
her chemise showing more than could be veiled
as my senses were captured
imprisoned in her smile
She was freer
than any wind I had ever felt
slipping
passing my mind
like curtains
possessed by the wind
in open windows
enlaced memories.

I was just a step from eternity
A-top Tower Eiffel
When I saw her enter Grand Palais
and the choice no longer was clear
end this life
Or try to make it
With the girl entering Grand Palais
We got married
Had some children
Got divorced
She sued me for everything
ran off with the kids
the yacht
Porsche
jewels
credit cards...
and my latest girl friends too
At least I have something to analyze for eternity.

I was selling picture-poems
alongside Jackson Square
in New Orleans
reading astrology charts to the lovely ladies
(telling each how well our charts matched: "my Mars to your Venus - what a night we shall we have")
and selling esoteric sacred secrets to the Christians when I saw her standing there reading my picture-poems
She said what my poems said shouldn't be said
she came and told me that every day at noon
But I paid no attention (like any man would)
Until the day she took me to her home somewhere north
in the constellation of Andromeda (the chained lady)
I met her anthropomorphic parents
a tree and a shirt
Then I awoke twenty-years later
in this small harbor town
on a large island North of Antarctica
where I began selling picture-poems (poems saying what shouldn't be said) in a park again
(come and purchase your picture-poems at Rymill Park on Sundays in Adelaide that aren't rainy or windy 9-5)
But I watch for her like a criminal does for justice
knowing someday it will all make sense
and I will be like everyone else
free of me.

Current research:
1. GRIN’s technologies: [Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Nanotechnology (Joel Garreau)] impact on communicational evolutions; how will we translate meaning from sender to receiver if the ‘decoder’ is inserted in the minds of but a fraction of society? An extension to my PhD thesis: ‘Conversational Analysis of Chatroom “talk”’
2. Philosophical clashes between longevity (the race to extend life cycles without end) ~ reincarnation and traditional Christianity.
