Ignite A 6th Sense (Rev) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Using a most unexpected strategy - and so unaccustomed
in that it opened doors of reality by letting common sense
shine through in a new way such as I've never seen before:
by PLANNING ahead of starting hacking away at a Spanish
Phytosanitary text - first analysing the kind of salt mine

Facing me, measuring blocks of terms, comparing them to
previous renditions carved in crystal and lighting the way for
wary new miners in a scary minefield of technical terms without
aesthetic content - the addition of which seems like anaesthesia
lulling a rational mind to sleep to ignite a 6th sense - I carved

Blocks of legal salt mine words following the Spanish word order
giving an exquisitely foreign twist to usually boringly uniform salt
crystals - recognising the already rendered parts of Articles and
Sections, adding my own roughly carved imaginative sentences
from Spanish signs - you can't expect me to show common sense

All the time; the little alien in my head confuses me to the point of
incoherence - but by using different coloured pens I kept track of
the excellent Regulations; my minimalist art, with every scientific
term tested to define specifications, polished & inserted in just the
right place, I hope, changed this enormous Spanish mountain

That loomed before me, and my seat on the burned-out ridge, into
a beautiful morning scene while the dew of self-esteem and sweet
incense of joy filled my inner sanctuary, perfectly balancing my
mental gyroscope upon a point of quiet enchantment…
