My Neuroboros epic poem is in the spirit of linked images, as in
[the haikai no renku tradition from the early modern period of Japanese literature (poetry): ie.
3 possible readings of each verse; poets competing for the next "link" in the chain of verses ] (K Mazur, Princeton Encycl., p. 1169)
In Neuroboros however there are swells of overlapping voices, links and readings, with no strict syllabic count for each verse nor rhyme only that it maintains a somewhat melodic cadence, and adheres to a fundamental theme of "being as self absorption," and the primary images comprised of the uroboric archetype's cluster of symbols as well as my "shape(s) of escape" (the arbiform, toroid, hourglass, nodal terminus, the neuron, etc.; see panapsida)
