Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

A Posteriori

Does light exist
without an object
to reflect against

Are good intentions
worth the time
as latency projects

The cobblestones
that lead to hell
a long and one-way path

Without an act
of conscious will
—a future damning past

(Villanova University: March, 2023)

Daniel Turner March 7, 2023 at 8:48 AM I'm no physicist but I believe light does exist. Same as does a falling tree make a sound if there is no one to hear it. The end is obvious, "without an act of conscious will" we will all be greeting each other at the gates of hell. Deep write, kurt.
