Best Coincident Poems

I was pushed to write this comparison after reading the poem on Byron by the souper poet Gary Bateman.
Wandering on internet I found the Byron's version of Francesca's words in CANTO V of Dante's Hell and I was curious to compare his translation with mine....

My Friend Bucky Fuller
came down to me today.
He said,
"Lao-tse's Time
grows not-not binomial
radiates fore
and gravitates aft
Space and Time
poetry as rhyme
Convex and Concave!"

My Friend Rumi Gloomy
said to me today,
"When you are perpetually yearning
and searching for Healthy Holy Spirit,
you will, in...

What goes up
must come down.
What goes out
must come in.
What goes before
must have also come behind.
What folds
must unfold.
When time is knotted
it must unknot.
When space explains radiantly
convexly
then time implies mutually gravitationally and cooperatively,
and concavely.
What information organizes square rootedly
must decompose fractally and binomially,
in binary octaves of reverse Win-Win...

My TransITion began there
right there
in my woodland playground,
when I first knew
something right feels wrong to others.

I was blind to curve-balls
hurled at me.
Being "It" is not why I grow
this TransIt mind and body!

Or, is it?

Could I become TransIt
if we ubiquitously cooperated
sharing coincident TransItions?

TransIt and Ego
play best...

Banish listening, and teachings end.
     Between "Yes!" and "No!"
     How much spectral difference is there?
Between healthy "live" and "evil"
     Is the difference not normally 50-50?
That which we fear
     Is...

The Spirit of the Valley never dies.
It is called the Mystic Female.
    The Door of the Mystic Female
    Is the root of Heaven and Earth.
 
    Continuously, continuously,
    It seems to remain.

Everything that is created
disguises a hidden purpose....
A calligrapher writes out his lines
not just for the exquisiteness of the script
but to also convey a meaning.

What is the purpose of...

The Revolution of Taoism

Within the evolving cultural womb of human nature's prehistoric original intent

Looked at, but cannot be seen--
EarthMother's creative heart-womb
is called panentheistically Invisible
omnipresent core Yintegrity. (yi)

Listened to, but cannot be heard--
SolarSystemGod's crowning language 
called omniscient
Inaudible Bicameral Octaves (hsi)

Grasped at, but cannot be touched--
EcoSoul is...

I just got out of the sizzling heat
with sweat running under my feet
I was too anxious to stand 
so I took refuge in the sand
I squat on top of the heightened rock
 with "what happened" in my hand 
and just as I was about to...

There is
no truth called
A coincidence,
because
all of life is
coincidental
that means
we are each known
coincidental together.

There is no truth called
A coincidence.
That we are all
coincidental
invites us to gather
together.
 
This means
you are each so
coincidental with me.
 
If I were you
and you were me.
If you were me,
and I were you,
then maybe...

I belong to metallic soiled Earth,
solar-fired water's atmosphere;
these oil and blood-fluent elements
would feel freer
not belonging to you,
to us.
They
we
are our belongings
but not our property,
commodity.
 
Our multicultural values
measure and calculate
design and develop
investing primal qualities of time
predicting secondary quantitative spatial outcomes.
Less time constrains freedom and value and love.

Our beauty is hidden in our words!
                Rumi (M. Mafi, trans.)

Our content in contentment
hides within commitment toward integrity.

Our beauty is hidden in our words
said only toward ourselves.
