Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Imagination

I know I often rail against science--
but, actually, I love it!
Started with science,
the grasp was easier
and the tangible truth
pleasant when sweet
like the bitter/sour
proportional to 
my elicited response--

and science lead me to spirit;
to a driving force
without boundaries--
memories spanning generations:

In the animal
we call them instinct;

in the human,
we call them
religion and god--

My preference is
to speak to them direct,
a rapport 
exceeding 
the universe….
