Poetry. This poem can be described as non-linear but this non-linearity is not created by any technological innovation (hyper-text, etc.). Through the reader's personal allusions and independent of technology, the poet has used spontaneity to convey the complexity of experience by scrutinizing the fibers of the immediate. That is, since everything in the poem occurs in the present it requires the reader to be tense, to construct and dis-assemble complex mental connections. The whole poem's syntagem will never settle in so-called perception alone, allowing for a never-ending mental activity in its every evolution.

<p>His name is Charlie, he's an artist, and he's been having some pretty strange dreams lately. As soon as he falls asleep he finds himself in a basement, covered with spiders,listening to his dead mother's screams. He needs to go back home, down south, to find the answers to her suicide and to silence her pain. But when he gets there, a bizarre string of events lead him to a twisted family composed of thugs,deviants, and murderers who want him to paint a mural on the dinning room wall of their old plantation mansion. Who could resist? His dreams start to meld into the surreal surroundings that he finds himself in and questions his sanity daily. He finds out the hard way that coincidences may not apply to this strange trip he's taking as everything pulls together to weave a frightening tapestry of truth that he finds almost impossible to believe, including the obsession he develops to the mysterious woman chained to the bed in the attic.</p>
