Notes About The Poem

The complexus of nexus: the braiding together of casual events.

The Complexus of Nexus

Are butterfly wing movements in Brazil the nexus
That creates our terrible tornados in Texas?
Though we may not understand the how and the why,
We should remember our words can make children cry.
Before broadcasting our gossip far across fences,
Shouldn’t we first consider its consequences?
A man may not know a woman’s complexus
Until casual banter with her bodes sexist.

I liked this poem. It's an interesting trail of events and consequences. "Gossip far across fences" was a particularly catchy phrase.
