Intetesting experiment for sure. Is it available in translation?
Latin notions of the perfect poem are charming.
As for 'I think i'm a square therefore I am' - well, a curious cogito! But why the limited geometry? Can squares write rondeaus?

64 Loving

of most profound, expansive truths
They must eo ipso be loved,
so therefore it's necessary:
the greatest thing is to be loved. ( future)
Potation of thirst we know best
when it fulfills us to this point,
with the high here it moves lowest:
Love is the greatest thing of all.

Deep in the water and sometimes up
through the bayou you hear the talks
but you don't know whether to believe
there's something other than gators
in the dark murk of the deep
stumbling out after a catfish caught on the shore
or a brim on the line, eventually
you'll be swimming and then
step onto a slippery stone, no,
rough and bony surface
immediately the question comes back
that of the legend
"What's that in the water?" Old Jimmie on the rocker on the dock sounded out across the choppy waves.
How quickly can it be
to make it back to
the shore? to the soft mud rather than
that lurking gator!
"Maybe it WAS something else-
something other than a gator!"
"It coulda beena shark" Old Jimmie on the dock rocker muttered in between his normal humming.
"Shark?"
There was silence.
"You know I used to swim with 'em?"
"What?"
"Yessir. I'd jump down off the longboard by the line of anglers."
"Jimbob, you're pullin' my leg!"
The dock rocker stopped
and creeked forward
Old Jimbob's face came into view
from beneath the shadows that blocked his face
"I ain't one for pullin' legs. Listen here, son,
you stepped on a log out there.
I watched it fall last week when
a zeklær struck it off that tree.
There. You see that?"
He pointed to a blackened area 20 feet up
one of the cypresses on the shore.
"Then where's that gator?
Where's that shark?"
"The shark's in your head, boy.
That gator is..."
Old Jimbob trailed off.
"What is it?
What is it?"
"The gator's just down there."
He pointed to a shaded area 25 yards away
in an inaccessible shallow
under a cover of moss.
"Just under that shady grove is
a gator that's been watching,
waiting."
"Oh come on. You're pulling my leg."
He stopped, but this time was
different.
"Y'all sit quiet now."
A bead of sweat dripped down his
cheekbone
from beneath his straw hat.
The waves against the old dock
shook louder than before.
A cardinal zipped by
silently blocking the sun.
old Jimbob took
in a deep breath as he let
Ol Papi's double barrel fall into
his left fist, ready,
suddenly,
a deafening shot rang out and a jarring
splash in the turbid marsh
by Old Jimmie's embankment
"What was that for, Jimbob?!"
With smoke still flowing from both barrels
old Jimmie smiled for what seemed
like the first time
"That there... Is the shark."
As the words were uttered, lo and behold
a shark over 6 feet in length bobbed
to the surface, jaw agape and teeth
bared, but with a sealed over eye
that showed indisputably that
it was dead.
"No Way! How did you know?"
"I'd been waitin' for it."
"Well, what about the gator?"
"What about that gator?"
"Ain't you gonna kill it?
What if it gets ol Bess?"
"Bessy ain't the mention.
That gator knew the whole time.
She'd been waitin', just like me after
I found a 8footer washed up
with a bite taken out its back.
I knew the only thing's gonna do that's
a shark, like one of those bulls I saw divin'.
We'll leave that gator alone.
A shark like that don't belong here,
probably came here in that same storm."
"But what about that gator?
I ain't goin anywhere near it."
"Best not," muttered old Jim finally at a repose.
"As long as you don't mess with her,
she might surprise you. She ain't lookin'
for a fight. She wants a safe place for
her eggs, and she won't forget
how we got rid of this pœr here.
Gators belong here in the swamp."
The rocking on the dock continued.
"Swamp looks after swamp."
A satisfactory glow lit up his usual shade.
"Ain't no place for a shark."
Jim looked deep out into the bayou.
"You never know if they're lurking.
When they do, you know,
but the birds do before."

Genuinely though, nice Hemmingwayesque yarn. Like its touches of surrealism and angling.

I like anything unusual, curing the boredom, and shark fishing in the bayou is new to me. Also the contrasting styles seemed to heighten both extremes in some way. Or if you mean my little bit of imagism, meh, pluses and minuses I guess.

Simulacrum


We hight Earthly mammals, the Holy empanel
And we live on a wonderful sphere
Do not change the channel, the needle-eye camel
Can hopefully just disappear

The place is enormous, all the good before us
The true fingerprint of a God
That goes to inform us, celestial chorus
That there’s such dysfunction is odd!

This radical being, the one who is freeing
Enabled happening to evolve
Like a programmer seeing, nary decreeing
Sets up many worlds to revolve

A grand simulation, technic emulation
Do not attribute as one will
All tribulation, transubstantiation
And a dire subterranean grill?

Such is inconclusive, it is so abusive
But higher realms seem rather certain
Beings reclusive, and levels inclusive
And various acts behind the curtain 

Placing the blame of the moves of the game
Up above is therefore inadvisable
Nature, She is sane, sometimes goes a bit lame
But her autonomy is cognizable

We hight Earthly mammals, the Holy empanel
No need to get us out of here
Do not change the channel, a soul just enameled
There’s a lot less than you think to fear

Hymn To Hera

Daughter of Rhea
Hera,
How was it whence you came?
Wherefrom shining stars was your name?
Lively silver, golden streaks from above
It was dark in that depth thereof,
Before somehow to me you minnowed
In my deluge a fantasy I thought willowed
You took my hand knowing me without belief
And suddenly we were up and out of that stream.
We were flying in circles and your arms were around me?
Then you ate my head and vomited me at your feet,
Kicked me up and crammed me back meet.
Your wings folded as one met sudden stone,
Opening to me your book, this list I was shown:
1. See no harm
2. Speak no harm.
3. Hear no harm.
4. Feel no harm.
That number 4 puzzled me.
How?
Afterall, you came gliding down.
Hear and harken in the heavens O Dancing Deity!
O Shimmering One!
O Spinning golden shower!
O Immortal Winged Goddess!
Pull me up and soften me with your sparks again
Rising up to the highest as two mountains
But to no destination
You then asked as sensations of feathers found my pili,
Body's vibration
"Are we high enough yet?"
"Where is Zeus?"
You turned into a great, horrifying beast with spiked teeth
And you devoured my head again,
But this time you pulled me out of your vagina.
It happened so fast, the colors went twisted and varied
It was bizarre but I was not in slightest bit worried
"They're all spat out."
Then you hurled my body towards Tartarus but all was well,
And when I was turning peaceful somersaults
You snatched me up with one hand, but when I looked
For your strikingly beautiful visage...
It kept oscillating--
A demented, jack in the box emoji, then a dark queen from a mysterious age, then a series of Japanese anime characters,
over and over again, each more ridiculous than the last.
Then there were teardrop shaped eyes staring at me from all angles
with half faces, fitted noses and small mouths from the side
And then you were back with your dark hair up, tied
And then you began your seduction
After bringing me to the edge of a cliff,
You said you can see it all better from here, and
Instantly I was naked. I felt an oncoming erection,
and then my penis was
You locked your legs around me levitating in air
I saw my penis nearly enter there
But then I went flaccid, and you saw it too
I saw your reaction, but you already
"I know those troubles of yours, and them you will face."
With this she relinquished her shackles of embrace.
"Don't forget your wings. Use what you have.
They will continue, but see what word brings;
and you can fly back to me any time you please,
whithersoever the cuckoo sings."

Old Higher Realms


Quite possibly, you see, it rather seems to me
That the future has already played it out
Realities to be, and bedrocks bleeding scree
Are fodder for the most unlikely shout

If the future does exist, and one does not resist
One might posit infinity upon infinity
The skeptics must desist, and atheists be pissed
But the result would be the sweetest dear serenity

Is Heaven itself, the highest spiritual shelf
Elsewhere’s future come unto fruition?
Is our own future self, or some emissary elf,
Come back at death to pay the Dean tuition?

Is our crucial future state, before it gets too late
Interacting backward through the timewave?
What about this gate does spiritually sate?
And how to handle miscreant or knave?

Potentially we are, creating for afar
Artificial beings who shall take the mantle
If they can use a star, to propel them au revoir
Perhaps they can upload our little candle

Wouldn’t this be Heaven, uniting human brethren
Into some sort of utopian scheme?
Don’t forget circuit seven, and Samadhi to leaven
Is this not somehow a scientistic theme?

So it’s not very remote, if the doubting can be smote
That in the vastness of the multiverse it’s happened
This is logical, I’ll note, and if you point out what I wrote
Fantastical, I’ll submit and I’ll slacken

But the universe is old! And if I may be so bold
As to suggest that higher realms evolved by now
The infinite! we’re told, even though space is quite cold
Infinity leaves lots of room, and how!

So if we can posit beings, aside from what we’re seeing
That created higher-up long, long ago
It would be very freeing, with all the squirrels treeing
A trillion-trillion times by now, you know?

Did you think that you could drink the nectar of the gods?
Your pallet could not bear the intensity of flavor.
Such succulence would drive you to madness.
Put down this goblet and give up these dreams of arrogance.
It will lead to nothing but violence and stains.
:begone:
