Long Extrapolating Poems

Madison's defense of the establishment clause to the Virginia legislature:
"Religion both existed and flourished, not only without the support of human laws, but in spite of every opposition from them, and not only during the...

Exercising belief about unknowns.
Makes sense to take your best guess.
Using history, numbers, extrapolation.
Getting the trajectory right for re-entry.
Few dissenters left for climate change, evolution.
Nuclear power brings a process to earth
that occurs only in space. Dangerous
but...

We go through waking, dreaming and deep sleep,
imbibing impressions in accordance with our awareness,
strangely making peace with our self-evident ignorance,
living by instinct, investigating not the truth of our being,
content in nurturing aspirations of decaying body-mind.

My centre of gravity shifts
It's a theory I'm contemplating whilst leaning on a bannister
I'm perfectly safe, not about to topple over
My feet are steady
I need to work on my balance point
What tips me over

will certainly result in better outcomes than guessing.
A rationalist who does not depend on a higher power
to direct his decisions, but who may concede,
observe, realize and accept that...

The storm is real,...

Traveling through the jaded discourse
With bartered pen and little remorse
Brandishing sharpened scalpel; tour de force
Unabashedly seeking all texts from lexicon to divorce

Developing underlying themes to alter the broader context
Freely abridging each verse to establish the...

acknowledging dreams
wherein we are limited
feeling trapped, in anguish
even though the dream ends
when we wake up from sleep
the fact is for those moments 
as both subject and object
as dreamer and the dreamed
our past tendencies precipitated

In my most recent dreams,
I've had to deal with the interaction of physical consciousness
and watch moving time stand still.

A physical world of vibrating strings.
Quantum physics a lot is done inside of Bell's theorem.
This theorem and...

COMMUNION

Divine splash of senses and emotions -
Michelangelo’s sensate visual of creation!

Articulation of a semi-conscious dream.
Other artists continue my work as they read -

extrapolating more from the marble,
exploring each angle, weighing it upon

a scale, with their...
