Best Variable Poems
Not only
wavering ship
amidst sea
but also
steady moon
smirking above
budges throughout

The Stars Series: Variable
Now speaking of variable stars
Not fake ones but real intrinsic ones
They swell and shrink
They pulsate
Some do this regularly
Some sporadically
They appear so much brighter for a while
A layer of ionization becomes less opaque
Thus allowing us to see their true brightness
Does this make them better
Or maybe worse
Then normal stable stars
No just different
No better
No worse
They just know they
Are something that is a little odd
It is all up for interpretation really.
Such as I am a single variable but nowhere near alone.
I am quite impressionable and find myself opinionated in a bullheaded sort of way.
At the beginning of my journey with so much more to learn,
looking back on how far I have come and what truths I know to exist.
Whatever impression you have gathered, I am simply my own person different from the rest.
I am an epic variable!
In the middle of the first date,
a troubling thought progression occurs:
The computer in me
calculates
success probability
of insertion of
tongue in cheek
at point zero three
Something in the conversation
has gotta change
this imminent failure trajectory
Input date gradient variable:
Nerd ... inverse chemical personality change
Buddy Love ... alter ego accessing
Cool romanticism vectoring
Body red alert!
Eye contact avoidance
creating critical mass passion implosion
Rupturing of the mellow ambient mood
will occur in
ten nanoseconds delta wave oscillation
Dream date bubble burst will ensue
Unanticipated motor response must commence
Hip central cortex command —
Wallflower boy get off the fence ...
kiss that woman,
and pierce that emotional force field
erected around the heart-shaped valence
Update voluntary co-joined gradient variable:
Buddy Love is now in physical operational control
SIMPLY, the less if variables of life
AND DEATH.
We surpass.
In the most simplest accord we
Decline the complexity of most
Examples of truth
Deferring our weakness through
Knowledge that we are all within
The GREAT DARKNESS of history.
And which country, planet or
Heavenly realm may deny?
It has always been the
Diabolical plan to obfuscate
Understanding and why?
The truth is nothing of the
Likes we have imagined.
It creeps by ways of human
Urgency: art, poetry, music
And oratory finesse.
THAT we are creators
Imbued with the likeness
Of our Father. This Father
Is not father nor mother
But the genesis of all things
-- Things with meaning; with
Reason.
Strip away language and
Embrace intuition and emotion
And the truth is simply
THERE.

Was Proverbial and Variable
Was no doubt philosophy is proverbial;
Determined to vacillate and be variable;
Not sure;
Part impure;
We found final results totally terriable.
Jim Horn
Enigma Variable
Enigma's silence is unusually quiet,
yet rarely on mute
when being outspoken
about unspeakable matters
mentioned out in the open.
Behind closed doors.
