' Does East Meet West ... ' (A Galileo Moment)
‘ Does East Meet West ? … ’ ( A Galileolian Moment)
( Metaphysical Poem # 6 )
Does East and West, At One Moment Meet
Somewhere, at a Rendezvous Discreet ?
… A Preponderance Perplexity …
For A Galileo Feat – Temerity
Does an East and a West Path
Go Arrow-Flown to Infinity ?
Does Unseen Length Returns
to Repeat Its Continuity ?
Function of This Question
Is to First, Ply with More Unction,
and Look at a ‘Line’ and its Definite Junction
Mine - Line Definition: A Straight-On-Precision
Distance: No Resistance, Between Two Focal Points
Whether Large or Small, The Line Overall, in Vision
has as Depiction, All Along its Line, You Will Find
from Start to Finish, Line is - Undiminished & Joint
Yea … Joint. And Therein Lies the Gist… The Point.
Look To A Sky Line. Look Very Closely as though for a Sign
Go Back and Forth to View … and Someplace in the Midst, You
Will See A Focal Kinetic-Sharer … Let Me Elucidate Further:
If You Walk, Back and Forth, and Back and Forth
It Does Not Matter if Path is Long or Short
Or Whether It Is, East West, South or North
Here is Where These Words, Has Its Worth
The Connection, is the Center
Now, Let Us Look In A Mirror
like an Image in Mirror … Facing West
For the Merest Moment, The Image Was a Guest
For The Merest Moment … East and West has Met
Yet, if Two Mirrors Face Each Other, What Is Shown
Did The Fractal Vision Meet and Then Go On and On ?
But Still In This Instance, I Bet … You Can See How It Gets
More Ease to Know and Yet … We Fail This Global Geometry-Test
We Pass East to West on the Street, Parallel Planes that do not Greet
Oh …Let Us Take Kindly Measure … And Get Back To Our Focal Center
We Can Go East To West, in A Radius- Come Full Circle where We Face Us
In an East to West Diameter … We Are Still In The Same Mortal Perimeter
So, Let Us Converge to Our East and West Midpoints and Merge
If You Are Almost on The Verge … May Galilean’s Moons Urge
A Surge and Fuse East to West … My Right Hand To Your Left
At Our Human Being Best … Facing Breath to Breath
And Heartbeats to Heartbeats, Completes …
Where East and West Halfway Meets
Yea … East and West Does Meet
