A Wolf Waits

A Wolf Waits Early one morning reason escaped And prescience went with it unlocking the gate Lights in the asylum flicker and fade The inmates grow restless a deepening shade Evening brought darkness no stars in the sky But nobody wondered no questioning why The moon simply vanished a wolf waits to howl All order disorder —with thought disavowed (Dreamsleep: December, 2023) Spinning The Cylinder When does intelligence turn on its host Killing the patron leaving a ghost Russian roulette in a game zero sum Perception reloading —acuity’s gun (Dreamsleep: December, 2023) Quantum Leap Life beyond numbers images reign Killing all reference lost in refrain Gaming the theory zeroing out Counting symphonic —Angels about (Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

Congratulations on three poems in one. Spinning the Cylinder somehow made me think of the A-I robots. Perhaps robots will be pointing a gun. Thanks for great innovation.
