Poetic Objects with Banal Captions

Is how we could sum up art,
Whether those objects are art
Or ordinary objects

And the captions are the art.
Words are self-deprecating
Like that. You must have read some

Explaining things as beyond
Words, beyond all description,
Beyond the language itself.

How often has it struck you
That the phrase, There are no words,
Is entirely made of words,

As is, Words fail me? Or that
Those phrases connote feelings
Only phrases like those can?

The world is all poetic
Objects and events. We are
Its banal captions, a claim

Only we can make, being
Objects and events ourselves,
Including this word banal.
